Indeed, in safemode firefox doesn't crash again. 

Thank you for your help.

could you try to disable your add-ons one by one to find what is the cause of your  crashes?

This is that I have tried to do all over the day, but now, with -safe-mode disable and all add-ons enable, firefox don't crash anymore.

I don't understand what was happened yesterday. Maybe, my yesterday evening PC reboot had fix my problem.

It seems that my scrollbar disappearing was due to the use of the "Proto for Mac OS X 0.7" theme ( https://addons.mozilla.org/fr/firefox/addon/6050 ).
