hi gred22, this looks like a crash in relation to hardware acceleration - please try updating your graphics driver & displaylink drivers (these should be the right links for your system): http://www.geforce.com/drivers/results/82467 http://www.displaylink.com/downloads/downloads.php

in case this doesn't solve the issue,you could also try to disable hardware acceleration in the firefox menu ≡ > options > advanced > general (that setting will take a restart of the browser to take effect).
