With build 58 I was getting frequent crashes and had to click on restore tab to continue. FREQUENT crashes. Last night loaded build 59. Now if I even click on "Show all Bookmarks" the program crashes. Firefox no longer works at all.

You will need a thumb or disk drive to install it on.

can you try if this change can workaround the stability problem?: go to the firefox menu ≡ > options > privacy & security panel and under permissions check the setting to prevent accessibility services from accessing your browser.
