what is causing Firefox to crash
Can anybody make sense of these crash reports and possibly give me some idea about what I can do to resolve this problem. I have reset Firefox after the last crash last night but is there other things I can do if it crashes again. Here are my crash reports: I have also done all the other things mentioned in Firefox help, ie updates, plug ins etc.

Thank you for your help!
More information and further troubleshooting steps can be found in the Troubleshoot Firefox crashes (closing or quitting unexpectedly) article.
Done all that.
A few weeks ago, I also had a problem with Firefox crashing at least once per day.
I usually have up to 20 tabs open, but suddenly a few weeks ago, it started crashing when previously, it wasn't a problem. I did the usual disk cleanups and virus scans, but no change to the crashing. I checked Task Manager and FF seemed to be using far more memory than it should.
I disabled all add-ons and extensions. Result: no change.
I finally just uninstalled FF, deleted anything related to Mozilla, and reinstalled FF. Result: it worked fine.

Hi scousemax
You can try to disable hardware acceleration in Firefox (you need to close and restart Firefox).
- Firefox > Preferences > Advanced > General > Browsing: "Use hardware acceleration when available"
You can check for corrupted and duplicate fonts and other font issues:
- http://www.thexlab.com/faqs/multipleappsquit.html - Font Book 2.0 Help: Checking for damaged fonts
- http://www.creativetechs.com/iq/garbled_fonts_troubleshooting_guide.html
Thank you MisterBee and cor-el for your replys, I was starting to give up any hope of a reply. I thought as I am running Mavericks on my mac that only having 4Gb of ram could be a problem so I have added another 8Gb . Luckily there have not been any further crashes since the last one I mentioned in the first posting, so I'm keeping fingers crossed.
I will go through all your suggestions, but it might be best that I do a complete re-installation if it crashes again as I am not really computer savvy and may cause further problems if I start fiddling about. Getting back to my original post, can anybody glean any clues from the crash reports?.
windows 7 -(me) blue screens, crashed 1 day-46 times. C:\windows\System32\catroot2\dberr.txt
Instead of telling my scans to ignore it, I deleted it after I saw it.-Looks like an ink blot, instead of something you can read This is a laptop & I just typed that into the search box after clicking start
