Firefox 33 crashes on Online chess

Hi. I have this problem that Firefox 33 crashes in Online chess. This was after I upgraded from Linuxmint 16 to 17. It has so far not crashed in Live chess, but then again, I haven't played that much live chess lately. What happens is one of 2: either it just crash and I get the crash report thing, or the graphics disappear and will not come back until I restart Firefox. Only chess.com cause Firefox to crash, no other sites that I've visited.

I've tried the following:
Install Opera and play chess there - same problem
Disabling plugins - same problem
Restart Firefox in safe mode - same problem
Run a memory check - no memory failure found
Reinstall the whole system - still same problem

So.... so far this only happen on chess.com - Online chess. Is it a bug in Online chess? Or in Firefox itself? Do other Firefox users on Ubuntu/Linuxmint have this problem? Hope there will be a solution somewhere.

One tip that MAY be useful: use Google Chrome instead of Mozilla.

It's a tip of my husband, hope it will work.

Good idea Lucie, I'll try that. It works nice on my laptop with Firefox on Win7 though.... and on my android app.
