Firefox crashes when searching

Since last night upon searching Firefox crashes. It will load known url address, but searching simple and complex items I get the message: Gah. Your tab just crashed. I can see for a split second the results but then the crashed screen appears.

This just started to occur last night. I have downloaded the most current version of Firefox and then when that did not resolve the issue I removed the app from my Mac and downloaded a fresh version, however, this did not do anything to resolve the current issue.
