Firefox crashes on many different websites - possibly caused by Flash
When browsing many different websites Firefox crashes to the crash report, this seems to happen the most on Tumblr and YouTube so im thinking it may possibly be Flash?
I would post the crash report but i cant remember how to, sorry

Do a clean reinstall and delete the Firefox program folder before (re)installing a fresh copy of the current Firefox release.
- Download the full Firefox installer and save the file to the desktop
https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all.html
If possible uninstall your current Firefox version to cleanup the Windows registry and settings in security software.
- Do NOT remove "personal data" when you uninstall your current Firefox version, because this will remove all profile folders and you lose personal data like bookmarks and passwords including data in profiles created by other Firefox versions.
Remove the Firefox program folder before installing that newly downloaded copy of the Firefox installer.
- (32 bit Windows) "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\"
- (64 bit Windows) "C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\"
- It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.

Your bookmarks and other personal data are stored in the Firefox profile folder and won't be affected by an uninstall and (re)install, but make sure NOT to remove personal data when you uninstall Firefox as that will remove all Firefox profile folders and you lose your personal data.
If you keep having problems then also create a new profile.
You can also check for malware.

Start Firefox in Safe Mode {web link} While you are in safe mode;
Type about:preferences in the address bar and press enter
Select Advanced > General. Look for and turn off Use Hardware Acceleration.
Poke around safe web sites. Are there any problems?
Then restart.
Tried it with hardware acceleration off for a while but it still ended up crashing
For now, leave Hardware Acceleration off. This should not do harm.
Please post all new crash reports since the ones you posted above.
Were you in safe mode for any of the crashes? Witch one(s)?

Frame 9 of the crashing thread - atidxx32.dll = ATI driver version 8.982.0.0
Look for updated video drivers.
Ive just checked and my drivers are up to date
i have also just gotten another crash

those reports are all over the place - due to the wide range of error signatures, i would speculate that your hardware might be involved in the issue. can you test the integrity of your RAM with a tool like www.memtest.org?
okay so ive tried everything and im still getting crashes but it only appears to be on YouTube now, im not sure if its flash because ive tried using "All HTML5" and set disable flash on youtube but i still get crashes
