When I browse suddenly the firefox screen turns black and then crashes. This might happen several times within a day.
An example:

Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem.
- Switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance
- Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window

You can try to disable hardware acceleration in Firefox.
- Tools > Options > Advanced > General > Browsing: "Use hardware acceleration when available"
You need to close and restart Firefox after toggling this setting.
You can check if there is an update for your graphics display driver and check for hardware acceleration related issues.
You can check for problems with current Shockwave Flash plugin versions and try this:
- make sure you have the latest Flash version:

- disable hardware acceleration in the Flash plugin
- disable hardware acceleration in Firefox
