Thanks Alex and Brien:

I will try the rename suggestion.

In .mozilla, I found 24882 pending crash reports dating
back to March 2013, about 24000 of them from two days in
April 2015.

Surely there cannot be any good reason or benefit in
cluttering up the system with all these ancient crash
reports.  Is there any good reason not to delete all of
that more than a year-old garbage?

Joe

I did try that, and the system crashes when I hit the help button.

I know that Mint is built on Ubuntu.  This post seems to suggest its been
an ongoing problem:

http://askubuntu.com/questions/254724/firefox-constantly-crashes-no-log

They suggest: Make sure Firefox isn't running. Then rename ~/.mozilla to
something else and see if Firefox still crashes.

I would suggest searching for the FF error logs.  This post tries to shine
some light on their location:

http://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/179930/where-can-i-find-firefox-log-file

I would spin up a VM and see if you can duplicate the issue in a Vanilla
version of your OS ... straight outta the box, does it happen?

Try to reign in the scope of the issue with VM troubleshooting.

Let me know if that helps at all! :D

-Alex.

Try clicking the help ? Button then troubleshooting information.  Then try
the refresh Firefox button.

If that doesn't help you could rename the hidden Firefox folder in you home
directory.  Might be .mozilla

Maybe you could create a new user and see if that user has issues, then you
know it is your profile or not.
