Firefox keeps crashing

For the past couple of days Firefox keeps crashing; both individual tabs (it will say the tab has crashed and to reload it - this will happen over and over again upon reloading) and the entire Firefox window. This happens on various different sites, eg. Youtube, gmail, etc. I tried all the steps in this article: http://mzl.la/1BAQHrD including checking to see if the crash still happened in safe mode with the add-ons disabled (which it did). The article then said to submit any crash reports that hadn't been already and copy the Report IDs for submitted crash reports to my support question in the Community Support forum:

Basically, an OOM (Out Of Memory) means the system is having issues with the RAM.

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