In the last week Firefox has started crashing on a regular basis. I removed it and reinstalled the newest version, which, by the way caused it to crash more often. I have run malware scans and run virus scans daily. My reports of the crashes don't always go through, but I have never received any response to the ones that do. I am doing job searches and this is very frustrating as many times I am in the middle of a detailed job application and I lose it when the crash occurs.

If you have submitted crash reports then please post the IDs of one or more recent crash reports that have a "bp-" prefix:

You can find the Report ID of recent crash reports on the "Help > Troubleshooting Information" page (about:support).
