The last crash report is for a prior version of Firefox. It may not be of use, but just the same . . . .

Perform a System File Check to fix corrupted system files Win 7, 8, 10, Vista: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/929833 Win XP: https://www.microsoft.com/resources/documentation/windows/xp/all/proddocs/en-us/system_file_checker.mspx?mfr=true

Hi,

Could you please advise how these crashes can be avoided as they seem to reoccur every hour or so?

Thanks.

Thanks for your advice.

Just checked - there are no integrity errors for system files and graphics driver seem to be updated.

Any more suggestions what could be causing this?

Because of the unknown in three reports, I've already called for more help.

Start Firefox in Safe Mode {web Link} by holding down the <Shift>
(Mac=Options)
key, and then starting Firefox. A small dialog should appear. Click Start In Safe Mode (not Refresh).

Is the problem still there?

Hi,

The problem still persist if I launch Firefox in Safe Mode. It is still crashing constantly.

I appreciate any suggestions.

Thanks.
