Try once. 

mv ~/.mozilla/firefox  savefirefoxconfig

Then run firefox as it is the first time.  Still crash or not?  If still crash, I can't help you.  If no crash, then slowly build up FF using what is in    savefirefoxconfig/[garbage].default

try using bleachbit to clean your firefox cache & crud

sudo swapoff -a
in case it is bad swap disk space

if that does not work
boot from a rescue / live disk and do a filesystem check for bad sectors

eg.
fsck -c -V /dev/sda1
fsck -c -V /dev/sda2

Consider wipping  out the old FF configuration (but save your bookmarks and other settings first).  I.e., remove ~/.mozilla/firefox .

Make sure Firefox is closed first. Then try, Menu, System, Lite Tweaks, Firefox.

When I installed Linuxlite 2.4 recently, everything seemed alright. I decided to update the system. After doing so, Firefox

was totally unstable and crashed often. Has anyone else had this problem? How do I install the older Firefox? :(It seems that

Firefox crashes only when I access my Internet Provider (i.e. telus.com). Is there any reason for this? I thank you for the 3

replies. BTW, my system tells me the CLI commands offered do not exist!  topsy.
