I have a lot of crash reports for Firefox and the majority seem to be for the same reason. Often the browser will crash after simply closing it down.Here are 3 recent crash reports which detail the problem:

bp-5b981c9e-1b2c-48a0-8982-3086b0180606 bp-3088e34f-9972-43f1-8a68-d849f0180604 bp-045c4245-d2a6-4957-91bc-0a2720180604

What is the problem referring to and how to rectify it.Thanks

Generally, ShutDownKill means something about Firefox is not closing down properly.

Start Firefox in Safe Mode {web link} by holding down the <Shift> (Mac=Options) key, and then starting Firefox.

A small dialog should appear. Click Start In Safe Mode (not Refresh). Is the problem still there?

Ok,did some web browsing in safe mode for a good period then closed Firefox,no crash happened.Did some more browsing without safe mode but no crash.But strangely first up not being connected to the internet I launched the browser then closed it and a crash happened.

The crashing can also happen when it was closed after Firefox used a large amount of memory.
