The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information. Note: This will cause you to lose any Extensions, Open websites, and some Preferences.
To Reset Firefox do the following:
- Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
- Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
- Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
- Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.
Further information can be found in the Refresh Firefox - reset add-ons and settings article.

Does the event log give any clues about the Windows crashes?
Try to disable hardware acceleration in Firefox.
- Tools > Options > Advanced > General > Browsing: "Use hardware acceleration when available"

Try to boot the computer in Windows Safe mode with network support (press F8 on the boot screen) as a test to see if that helps.
I too have this problem, only mine started when I installed version 22 or later on XP.
The first suggestion was no help at all. I tried it and the problem still happens.
The second suggestion seems to have worked so far but I'll see how long it lasts.
