Plugins often are a source of firefox crashes, try to run it without any
additional plugins and see if it makes a difference.

The flash plugin often is the culprit.

I'll wager it's nspluginviewer.bin. There was a fix - I mentioned here 
reporting the bug, and them supposedly fixing it, but it's apparently still a 
problem. I have *never* had firefox crash like, well, a M$ product, the way 
it's done for a month.

Is it the computer hardware problem?


 I  meet this problem ago.
The firefox in my computer sometimes was  crashed, because my graphic
card was  too old . Maybe is it this problem?

Coincidentally, I replaced my graphics card yesterday because the old
one was getting too loud.  I've had 1 firefox crash since then.

I know that. As I said, I was the one who reported it, and it took the
firefox team nearly a week to find that it was a dependency, and that the
crashreporter had the *same* dependency, and so couldn't give a stack
trace because *it* crashed.

And yes, I do have both the 386 and the x86_64 versions of curl installed.

No. While I was still on 3.0.12, it wouldn't crash.

Your card was not too old. Unless you mean all of X hung, or crashed.
But just firefox, no - it's something to do with firefox.
