Firefox crashes
Hi I have a brand new Macbook Pro (13") with touch bar, latest OS (Sierra 10.12.2), latest Firefox version, lots of RAM (16GB) and storage.
When I have several tabs open, working on a translation project with online dictionaries, frequently, when I move the cursor back to this page (http://www.sanskrit-lexicon.uni-koeln.de/scans/AP90Scan/2014/web/webtc1/index.php), and sometimes to other unrelated tabs, Firefox crashes. I've filed numerous crash reports in the last few weeks through your auto-reporting system.
This is often happening several times a day. I much prefer Firefox over Safari and Chrome. Is there some fix you folks can create to stop these crashes?

Could be a problem with the font that Firefox uses on that page.
You can check for corrupted and duplicate fonts and other font issues.
Thanks for the suggestion; i ran sudo atsutil databases -remove, but to no effect. Problem persists. Any other suggestions?
