This looks like a duplicate of bug 973138. The crash report indicates that "LightsOff.CD920490367F.2.6.80.dll" is present... David, does that sound right? If so, does this indicate a virus on Debapriyo Bhattacharya's machine? I can't tell from bug 973138.

Ah, it's not your browser crashing... So the good news is that this should be fixed in the next release if I'm right about it being bug 973138. The bad news is that the person asking that question needs to get rid of this malware.
what is the solution ?
See bug 973138 comment 1. Apart from waiting for Firefox 30, that's the best option.
This bad DLL should be blocked in Firefox 30 beta 2 which is available from http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/channel/#beta Please install and use that and report back if it still crashes.
