Thanks for the report Lee. We are going to need more detailed information to process it, though.

Is this crash happening with a specific website, or randomly on any page you're browsing?

Can you test restarting firefox in safe mode (from the help menu) and let us know whether the problem still occurs then?

Finally, can you browse to about:crashes, and let us know whether there are unsent crash reports there? Can you share the link to the most recent crash report?

Thanks!

Interestingly, I haven't had any crashes since posting the above. If that changes, I will do as you requested.
