Firefox ver. 21 keeps crashing

Until a couple of months ago, I was using a really old version of Firefox (ver 3.6 I think) until it started getting really slow and I decided to update it to see if it that make any difference. It did. It made it worse. Now not only is Firefox slow, it also crashes at random dozens of times a day no matter which website I'm on or what I'm doing.

I'm using the the most up to date version of Firefox at the moment. To fix my problems I've tried resetting Firefox, deleting plugins, disabling add-ons, completely uninstalling Firefox... nothing works.

unfortunately those reports come back as empty and don't identify the crashing component. what you could try nevertheless, is to update your graphics driver, or in case this doesn't solve the issue or there is no new version available at the moment, disable hardware acceleration in firefox > options > advanced > general.

I have the same/similar problem with Firefox 24.0

It seems to be crashing randomly.

@Heyns_van_der_Merwe, your kind of crash signature is very hard to diagnose, you could try removing "Internet Download Manager" though or run firefox in safe mode with addons disabled to see if this is making a difference: Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems

@LadyRedwv, these crashes are related to hardware acceleration. please refer to my answer above to resolve such issues.
