Do you have this crash when you visit Facebook or does it happen randomly on other sites as well?

You can try to disable hardware acceleration in Firefox.

  • Tools > Options > Advanced > General > Browsing: "Use hardware acceleration when available"

You need to close and restart Firefox after toggling this setting.

You can check if there is an update for your graphics display driver and check for hardware acceleration related issues.

There are two crash reports linked the the crash report where one of them shows as fixed for Firefox 42.

You could give the current Firefox 42 beta a try to see if that version works.
