Since updating from V3.10 to Firefox v 3.11 the browser has been shutting down randomly while browsing pages on other web sites. The error box appears and informs me 'Firefox has a problem and is shutting down' then produces a box asking if I wish to 'Restart Firefox and do I want the error to be sent to Mozilla?' Crash Reports were generated and sent.   

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Impossible to answer this Q. because every system is different and there could be so many variations.

Actual Results:  
Several restarts bought the same problem, each time a 'Crash Report' was generated.

Expected Results:  
Stable browser, able to produce good working environment.

Attached are a sequence of 'Crash Reports:
