Has anyone else noticed that Firefox 3.06 seems to be crashing like a very early version of Windows? I am seeing it on both an XP and a `00 machine, both with the latest service packs and all of the critical Windows updates.
Something does not seem to be quite right with this child.

Been having the problem since 2.11, I think Firefox, and exploder, and safari
and .. is having problems with all the flashy crap and when the content fo the pages reaches some truly obscene level.
usually tuning off pictures or java makes the problem stop and then you start seeing why. FYI: any page that needs 2 minutes on fios and a 2ghz dualcore with 4gig of ram to load and get active is way overloaded.
Use Googles Crome as a backup. Very similar and seems very stable under XP & Vista/Linux.
I haven't been having crashing issues. However, it sometimes starts running very slowly (similar to it running on a 56K modem)
Come to think of it, both my desktop and laptop are seizing on 3.06 more. And they're up to date on XP.
It's not always the flashy crap that does it. No idea what's going on.
Flash player version 10 causes all sorts of havoc with my XP machine and Firefox 3. I have frequent crashes to desktop out of Firefox.
On the other hand, my Vista machine with Flash 10 and Firefox 2 runs just fine.
Forgot to add: I uninstalled Flash 10 on my XP box and installed Flash 9. No more problems.
the system containing the most often crashed firefox (2.22) does nto even have flash installed.. Seems you have to run Mickspooges latest crap to run flash 9 or 10. What seems to be of the greatest factor is tons of off page linkages, to youtube, other sites and expecially some of the newspapers. For example another blog that logged 284 off page references for pictures, other off site text, youtube, flickr, and the list went on and on. What made that most nasty is some of the links were flat out broken and 48 of them were to adclick, adserver.. Add to this some of the links were links to links.. and at least 10 of those links were hijacked sites no wonder firefox crashes. When I revectored (HOSTS) some of the many sites to 127.0.0.1 the crashes went away but the thing was still horridly slow.
When the problem occurs on M$, linux, OS-X and Iphone consider the source rather than the browser.
Use safe hex and were a keyboard condom as it's dangerous out there.
Eck!
Just curious, are folks updating to Firefox 3.x by design, or auto-updating? No problems here, FF 2.0.0.20, XP Pro SP *2*, all day (and night)long, with all current updates to that. Suggestion: turn off auto-updates for all of your software. Then again, if you enjoy beta testing, well, then of course get the latest ;-) Btw, FF 2 also plays nicely on the Macbook Pro and mini.

Firefox 3.06 quit working for MathMan altogether. He thought it might have something to do with it having issues with his AVG virus software. All I know is learned all kinds of new swear words each time Firefox gave him fits.
