Putting sliders in my theme causes Firefox to crash

I've been using Themler and Firefox v41.0.1 without problems for some time.
Then I installed sliders in the header of a few templates and now when I reopen them it usually (say 9 out of 10 times) crashes Firefox just as it gets to the part where it is loading the slider.
But sometimes it works - and it seems to be SLIGHTLY more reliable if loading the template is one of the first things you do after starting Firefox.
Any idea what is going on? I have tried disabling virtually all off the add-ons and it doesn't make any real difference.
Thanks

I just used Chrome to export the template as a ZIP and it works fine, same thing in Firefox crashes. Here's the (pretty much off the shelf) theme/template...

Hi,

Our developers have confirmed that there is a bug in FF 41 version so we will wait till the next FF update to see if the problem is fixed. Meanwhile I suggest you to downgrade to the FF 40 or use Chrome instead.
Sorry for the inconvenience,

Sincerely,
Hella
