Firefox has been crashing on me several times a day. As you can see from the list of installed plugins I've been trying to switch on and off extensions without a great deal of joy, as the crashes are unpredictable - can be an hour or two or can be 5 minutes.

Moreover, when it crashes, it pretty consistently produces an unusable dump file:

Here are the latest ones:

And they all say: Firefox 17.0.1 Crash Report [@ EMPTY: no crashing thread identified; corrupt dump ]

This is a brand new install of firefox on a brand new pc but I've copied the profile from the old machine. And much as I'd enjoy recreating a profile from scratch, unless there's a way of dumping your saved passwords, it's going to be /very/ tedious.

Try to disable hardware acceleration in Firefox.

Well, I've found out by disabling and enabling extensions that the problem was caused by inforss. I needed to save my settings, uninstall it completely, remove all trace, and then install and reload the monitored feeds. And everything is fine.

I'm not sure how that produced corrupted dumps though
