My Firefox is crashing randomly, whatever the site I'm on it stops and create a report. It has even happened when I was on looking for an answer to these crashes. It occurs up to several times an hour if I'm browsing intensively. The safe mode didn't change anything so I tried to uninstall it completely (deleting it in program files and appdata) but it didn't solve the problem as well.

I can provide the latest three report I got since I deleted the last one while uninstalling Firefox:

I can't be exactly sure of when the crashes started but I think it was when I updated it to Firefox 15. Since then I tried to go back to Firefox 14 but the problems still occurred.

If you disable Hardware Acceleration, do you still get this crash? Turning off hardware acceleration
