hello shortie, the type of crash you've referenced should be fixed in the upcoming firefox version 22. if you want, you can test the beta version right now: mozilla.org/beta - the regular release of the final version will be at the end of june.

I, too, started having this issue out of nowhere. I don't use Pandora all that much, but had never encountered any issues until recently.
A couple months ago, it started "skipping" really bad whenever I left the browser, or even just left that tab, to do something else. As of lately, it started crashing within about 3 mins of opening it.
Here is my most recent crash report id: bp-95eed72b-a173-4672-b503-d899b21306036/3/20132:59 PM

Pandora may work differently in Firefox 21, because sites now can use the built-in HTML5 audio player to decode MPEG media. Previously Firefox did not support that, so the stream was played using the Flash player plugin.
It is possible to disable MPEG support so that sites fall back to Flash. If you want to give it a try, you would follow the steps in this thread: How to disable the built-in media player in FFv21?
It's easily reversed the same way. If you try it, please let us know whether it helps.
