Could you try Firefox's Safe Mode? That's a standard diagnostic tool to bypass interference by extensions (and some custom settings). More info: Diagnose Firefox issues using Troubleshoot Mode.

You can restart Firefox in Safe Mode using

Help > Restart with Add-ons Disabled

In the dialog, click "Start in Safe Mode" (not Reset)

Any difference?

Two of your crash reports mention/seem related to graphics. Could you try disabling Firefox's use of hardware acceleration for graphics? Driver updates can trigger new problems with this part of the program. This is one of the things disabled in Safe Mode, so if Safe Mode helps, definitely try this.

You usually need to restart Firefox in order for this to take effect, so save all work first (e.g., mail you are composing, online documents you're editing, etc.).

orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Options > Advanced

On the "General" mini-tab, uncheck the box for "Use hardware acceleration when available"

If you restart Firefox, is the issue resolved (or at least improved)?

One of your crash reports links to a bug related to the PDF Viewer introduced in Firefox 19. Could you disable it as described in this article: View PDF files using Firefox’s built-in viewer.

the Last one with the reset done, and after disable PDF viewer and uncheck hardware acceleration. Firefox crash two time but got only 1 crash report.

I wan't able to draw any useful conclusions from the crash reports; perhaps someone else can.

If you think Flash is the problem, could you try the FlashBlock extension? It prevents Flash from running on a page or site until you approve it.

Also, Firefox 21 released today. On the off chance that the crashes are related to a bug that was fixed, you might try updating.
