Recently Firefox keeps crashing on me A LOT. It has already crashed three times in the past two hours. Any help would be appreciated. Here are some of the crash reports:

These are out-of-memory crashes where all available memory is used up.

You can try to disable hardware acceleration in Firefox.

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

You need close and restart Firefox after toggling this setting.

Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem.

  • Switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance
  • Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window

You can try to "disable the hardware acceleration" in the Flash Player.
