Quite often, when I open my laptop and go to firefox, it crashes. Sometimes weird things happen with my graphics as well, but I believe that's unrelated. Anyway, here are the recent crash reports (I hope I'm doing this right!):

You can try to disable hardware acceleration in Firefox.

  • Tools > Options > Advanced > General > Browsing: "Use hardware acceleration when available"

You need to close and restart Firefox after toggling this setting.
