Have a link to a site that is crashing for you ?

Also have you tried running Firefox in Firefox safe-mode ? Does it still crash ?

If it's working Safe Mode it could mean that disabling hardware acceleration is making the difference, but if you post the latest crash reports it will help folks here pin down the problem source.

Does it crash if you start in Safe Mode?
Does it crash in a new, clean Profile?
Fire 750, bring back 250.

first - uninstall ALL flash builds - that collection is awfull.
then use uninstaller!!!

then - search for a newer graphics driver - 2015 is rather old for your hd 5800.
