I love using firefox but for the last few months it has been running so slow/crashing/and causing issues on my macbook air. I have tried uninstalling it and doing a clean install, following the forum post suggestions, and limiting my activity on the browser but nothing helps. The browser crashes at least once a day and is slow constantly. Is there anything I can do to help this?

My last crash report since re-installing the browser is found below:
