I have used Firefox for years but have never had so much trouble as I am having in the last few days. Constant crashing when I have multiple tabs open. I used to be able to have as many as a dozen tabs open. Now if I have as few as 3, crash after crash after crash after crash. On both my laptop and PC. I have run all my antivirus and nothing is coming up there. Anyone know what the heck is going on?

See http://kb.mozillazine.org/Firefox_crashes and Troubleshoot Firefox crashes (closing or quitting unexpectedly)

If you have submitted Breakpad crash reports then post the IDs of one or more Breakpad crash reports (bp-xxxxxxxx-xxxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx).

You can find the IDs of the submitted crash reports on the about:crashes page.

You can open the about:crashes page via the location bar, just like you open a website.

See: http://kb.mozillazine.org/Breakpad (Mozilla Crash Reporter) and [[Mozilla Crash Reporter|Mozilla Crash Reporter:Breakpad]]
