Why is Firefox constantly crashing? 40.0.2
Ever since the update to 40.0.2, I'm getting constant crashing on both Windows 7 and Windows 10. It's absolutely unbearable. These are a few of my recent crash report IDs, though this is not nearly all of them. What is going on???

These reports range from 73% to 88% system memory in use, which is dicey territory for Firefox, which likes to use a lot of memory.
