Firefox crashes repeatedly, often on scrolling down a web page. Most recently, it was my gmail contacts list, but there are several other examples.

From about:crashes I've copied below a handful of the two dozen or so crashes from the last couple of weeks.

Please upgrade to a modern linux version. Your version of libc is 2.12, the most recent is 2.21. That should resolve the crash.
