my firefox is crashing inexplicably and it is happening more frequently. I have no extensions and not much in the way of plug-ins to disengage. Just bought new Mac with el Capitan. Here are some of the most recent reports:

You can try to disable hardware acceleration in Firefox.

  • Tools > Options > Advanced > General > Browsing: "Use hardware acceleration when available"

You need to close and restart Firefox after toggling this setting.

You can check if there is an update for your graphics display driver and check for hardware acceleration related issues.

For some time now, a lot of Mac’s with Microsoft programs have been crashing. Check with Microsoft / Mac support sites.
