You're using an AMD graphics card, right? If not, skip the following:

I had issues with FF stability some months back that appeared out of nowhere. The issues however,  resolved themselves once I had upgraded to the latest non-free AMD video driver.

Make sure you have the firmware-amd-graphics  package installed and have non-free-firmware in your sources.list:

# cat /etc/apt/sources.list
...
deb https://deb.debian.org/debian/ your_dist_here  main non-free-firmware
...


HTH.
