I have refreshed firefox, my computer software is up to date, my plug-ins are up to date, and firefox itself is up to date.

Firefox has been crashing for me for several months, I have also noticed that it freezes up often too and I usually end up having to force quit.

Thank you for your help!

More information and further troubleshooting steps can be found in the Troubleshoot Firefox crashes (closing or quitting unexpectedly) article.

Also, you are running a pretty old version of Mac OS, you may want to consider updating to Mac 10.11 is possible. It's free, and as long as your computer is supported will be a good upgrade.
