Firefox often crashes when closing tabs

I've noticed that, when I have multiple tabs open in the same window, FireFox has a tendency to crash when I close one of the tabs. This seems to be more likely when the next tab is still loading. This doesn't seem to happen with closing separate FF windows, or if I move a tab to a new window and then close it.

Also, there is usually no option to send a crash report. I just get a Windows pop up that says firefox has stopped working.
