Firefox crashes

So for a while now (months), firefox would crash occasionally and if I tried to restart and keep using it, it would crash repeatedly and eventually I'd get a bluescreen. I discovered that if I just rebooted my computer after a firefox crash, it would normally be okay after that. So I haven't put much effort into trying to fix it.

Some days I would get crashes, other times it would be completely fine, despite the fact that I'm doing the same things every day.

Now, it's repeatedly crashing, despite the below: Tried rebooting computer several times Tried starting in safe mode Tried firefox refresh

What I'm doing when it crashed: I always have multiple tabs and windows open. Zoho mail is always open. I have seen some correlation between the crashes and youtube and/or facebook being open

Any help would be much appreciated!

You are using an old version of Firefox, which can be causing these common crashes. Upgrade to the latest fixes and improvements as our tutorial below:
