When I try to use Google Images Firefox crashes. I send a report as requested but this has been happening for several weeks.
Does anyone know what I should do?

Do you get the same with other browsers?
Palemoon is based on Firefox, see if it does the same, you can get the firefox add ons for it if you need them

You could export your bookmarks and use Revo free version to uninstall Firefox then re-install

This is for 4.01

This is for 3.6.17

Have you reinstalled it?
Tried other browsers?
Get Chrome, it's nicer anyway. xDA work in progress.

Do you have any add-ons installed? If so, have you tried disabling the add-ons one by one to try an eliminate a possible add-on problem?
What version of FF are you using, and as others have suggested, have you tried reinstalling FF?0 -

Does it happen on all images, or just some? The paranoid part of me says they are an exploit of some sort. I would suggest the following:
1. Install, update, and do a QUICK scan with Malwarebytes Antimalware, clean anything it finds and please post a log

2. Run HitmanPro, do a once only scan and clean anything it finds unless it's just cookies:

3. Save Hijackthis to the desktop: http://www.trendmicro.com/ftp/products/hijackthis/beta/HijackThis.exe
HOLD LEFT SHIFT, then RIGHT CLICK on the file on the desktop, do a scan and save a log. Don't fix anything. Post log here please.
(optional steps to follow)
4. Install Adblock Plus in Firefox https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/adblock-plus-pop-up-addon/?src=api
5. Subscribe to Easylist when it asks upon restart (block ads, including infected ads)
6. Subscribe to MalwareDomain (block content from known infected sites) at the bottom of this page http://adblockplus.org/en/subscriptions
7. Install Clearcloud DNS (webfilter to block known bad sites) http://www.clearclouddns.com/ afterwards test on youtube.com to make sure it doesn't slow the net down0 -
I will try but seems very complicated and i am not very technical but thanks.(Crashes on any image)0

Have you done any of these?
I'd disable them all then start adding one by one. Don't think this is the problem but you never know.
