Firefox crashes when too many images are opened

Question

Okay, so, a problem that appeared in 4.0 for me, and hasn't gone away ever since.
The problem is basically summarized in the short description - whenever too many heavy images are in the browser's tabs simultaneously, it slows down to a halt; then sometimes as I scroll it fails to redraw the page, with black non-redrawn area increasing as I scroll and disappearing as I change tabs back and forth.
After a dozen seconds of such sad behaviour, the browser crashes.
Sometimes, however, things go better. And it just crashes.
The problem can be easily replicated with Save Images extension, say, on any photo hosting, or by opening

It should be noted that 3.6 never had that problem, and opened pages where I aggregated thousands of images, - slowly, of course, but it ''did'' work. 4 and 5 do ''not''.

Answer 1

Go to the address '''about:crashes''' and tell us your latest crash IDs. We can then look at the data specific to your crash and have a better idea of what is causing the problem.
Or you can go to '''Start''' and type in the Vista search box '''%APPDATA%''' then click on '''Roaming''' then go to '''Mozilla>Firefox>Crash Reports>Submitted''' then open the .txt files and copy the Crash report ID that starts with '''bp-xxxxx-xxxx'''
