Firefox endless crashing ...

[Snyder, Alexander]

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.
