FredMcD is suggesting that you look for updated video /graphics drivers.
That atidxx32.dll is flagged in all 5 of those crash reports as precipitating each of those crashes.
I have an AMD Radeon HD 6700 graphics card, Windows 7-64-bit. Will this update you've recommended work with this card? I've checked my graphics card software for updates and it's telling me I have the current update:
[Driver Packaging Version - 15.20.1062.1003-150728a1-187447C Catalyst Version - 15.7.1 AMD Catalyst Control Center Version - 2015.0728.2244.39078]
If yes I can upgrade, would AMD Radeon Software Crimson Edition 16.3.2.be correct?
I wanted to verify this before doing any upgrading. Thanks much. Karen

hi, the shutdown crash at hand most likely won't be related to you graphics driver whatsoever.
is the issue still reproducible when you create a new profile?: Profile Manager - Create, remove or switch Firefox profiles
