some of the last links opened are below. I'm thinking the first link is what firefox tanked on.

It might be bug 868919.

The three other empty dump crashes are unrelated.

FWIW, the video http://www.washingtonpost.com/national/oprahs-harvard-commencement-speech/2013/05/31/d8a1e070-c9ef-11e2-9f1a-1a7cdee20287_video.html was playing in a tab that had been opened in the background, and was never in the foreground (I never switched to it).  I've played it once since restarting firefox, and no crash.

the last of the three goes with *this* crash.

I assume this isn't reproducible?

not so far. And I suspect unlikely to occur in the future. So what you've got from me in this bug report might be all you'll get.

that said, getting EMPTY crash reports is not unusual for me.  But I also rarely play videos.

I ran that vista system until Jan 2015, and I don't recall such crashes in at least 6 months prior (i.e. during 2014)
