We're sorry to hear that Firefox is crashing. In order to assist you better, please follow the steps below to provide us crash IDs to help us learn more about your crash.

  1. Enter about:crashes in the Firefox address bar and press Enter. A Submitted Crash Reports list will appear, similar to the one shown below.

All three of those crashes happened in Firefox 14.0.1, a real old version that is no longer supported. The crashes are related the VLC Plugin, and multiple different VLC DLL's are red flagged as contributing to two of those crashes.

Try using Firefox 44, which will be released later today, and see if those crashes lessen or go away.

Now you seem to have Firefox 44.0b9 (beta) installed, per the crash report data.

And still caused by VLC plugin files. Please see VLC support for help with that. http://www.videolan.org/support/
