Firefox constantly crashes even with almost all extentions disabled.

Question

For months now Firefox has been crashing regularly. This seems to happen most when I am on pages like Google Images or Google Maps. Each time this happens I get the screen to restart Firefox and submit a crash report. After that process the "this is embarrassing" screen comes up but the tabs listed are old, sometimes by several days. I have disabled nearly every extension / plug-in. I am tired of having to babysit this program. It is a browser and I am just trying to browse the internet. I am not a user with a ton of extensions or other add-ins to Firefox. I use it almost "out of the box". I have had to reset Firefox in the past and I have had times where I have lost all of my open tabs. I am just about to the point of dumping Firefox for a browser which actually works. Firefox has become a very frustrating program to use. It is a browser. The user should not have to bend over backwards to keep it working.
I use Windows Vista Ultimate. I am submitting this from a different computer since Firefox just opens for a minute then crashes over and over and over again.

We need to see your crash reports from your other computer where Firefox is having the issue.
I don't know what OS the other computer is running but I'll put instructions for both Mac and Windows.
<b>Windows</b>
Press the following shortcut to get a Run window: [Windows] + [R]. This should bring up a window that contains a text field.
#In that text field, enter %APPDATA% and press Enter. An explorer window should open.
#From that explorer window, double-click on the ''Mozilla'' folder, then double-click on ''Firefox'' and then on ''Crash reports''. Double-click on ''submitted''.
#Now, you should see a list of files that contain reports. Go to ''View'' > ''Arrange Icons by'' > ''Modified'' to get the most recent files at the top of the window.
#Open the most recent 5 files with a text editor and copy the IDs.
#Paste each ID with '''bp-''' into the reply window on the forums.
<b>Mac</b>
#'''(OS X 10.6 or previous)''' Click the '''Finder''' icon in the dock. Your home folder will be selected. In the right side of the window, click the Library folder to open it. Then open the "Application Support" folder, the "Firefox" folder, the "Crash Reports" folder and finally the "submitted" folder.<br>'''(OS X 10.7 or above)''' Click the '''Finder''' icon in the dock. On the menu bar, click the '''Go''' menu, hold down the '''option''' or '''alt''' key and select '''Library'''. A window will open containing your Library folder. Then open the "Application Support" folder, the "Firefox" folder, the "Crash Reports" folder and finally the "submitted" folder.
#Open the 5 most recent files with a text editor and copy the IDs.
#Paste each ID with '''bp-''' into the reply window on the forums.
