Firefox Crashing For No Reason

Starting about a week or two ago, my Firefox browser has been crashing randomly when you open up a new tab. It can happen on any site (it just happened for a facebook page, but it's been totally different sites over the course of the week), and it doesn't seem to be a direct result of anything. I've checked my RAM use and that's totally fine and I wasn't doing anything intensive in the browser window.

I'm starting to think it's that Alexa toolbar I installed for the lulz, and it wouldn't surprise me. Anyway, I'm going to uninstall that right now as it doesn't really serve any purpose, and then I'll report back in if the problem occurs again.

Is this happening to anyone else?

    I have no problems. Let's see what happens when you uninstall the toolbar.

    Nope, but then again I never install toolbars.

    from time to time i've had firefox prove to be very unstable. it would crash for no reason and continue doing so for no reason.

    everything's been fine recently, but it wouldn't surprise me if it started again.

    Check your add-ons? Mine caused untold annoyance and they were legit. Sometimes they just fuck up and purgng them is the easiest way.

    After uninstalling, I haven't had any problems yet. I'll give it a week though, although it's already looking up! :D
