Hi Richard,
I'm using Firefox everyday with Xenial and I don't notice random crashes. I
have already seen some crashes with Firefox with other release of Xubuntu
(14.04) in the past. But with firefox 46, I don't have experimented
frequent crashes...
Today, Firefox was updated on Xenial, maybe you could try the new version
47.
