Might be a conflict, or some of the extensions being nonportable - that is, some extensions store files locally and are not suitable to being run from a flash drive.
Also, that is a hell of a lot of extensions!
I would recommend disabling them all, and building them up one by one to try and reproduce the crash.
If you have the newest Adblock Plus, you don't need the unmaintained filtersetG updater anymore. http://easylist.adblockplus.org/ has the more recently/actively updated filterlist, and Adblock Plus can automatically subscribe to it, so that's one less extension!
I doubt an extension conflict is causing Fx to crash.
Also, that is a hell of a lot of extensions!
Pfff... I passed 49 a while ago.
If you have the newest Adblock Plus, you don't need the unmaintained filtersetG updater anymore.
In fact, the developers of ABP recommend that users not have it.
And don't get the JamiePlucinski.com filter. It has whitelisted ads (I noticed a few on www.newgrounds.com) that I couldn't get rid of without removing that subscription.
Vintage!
I've got rid of the Filterset.G Updater extension.
I think the root of the problem was Fasterfox extension. I uninstalled it. and so far so good, it hasn't crashed or anything. Other than its very slow in loading. Thats understandable. However I have 89 i think extensions installed at home on the local Firefox, and its much quicker in loading.
I think that Microsoft puts a piece of code in Windows to crash Firefox every once in a while. lol, jk (even though it seems like it). It may be because you have too much open, stuff like that.
Microsoft just gives you Windows, Linux gives you the whole house.
Don't know what you mean by crash like instant shutdown or frozen?
I get problems like that sometimes as well but you may try uninstalling and reinstalling extensions and see if that helps. I uninstalled noscripts and reinstalled and it fixed a problem of mines.
