[Tfug] firefox 2/3

[Eric M. Gearhart]

What do your addons and extensions look like? Have you tried disabling them? 

I say that simply because on both Windows XP and on openSUSE I really haven't seen Firefox 3 crash... only occasionally (once a week maybe?)

Wish I could have shared your experience.. the speed seemed fine.. but 
it crashed on about half the pages I went to. FF2 crashes sometimes

I routinely have to go through and close all the tabs I have open because I forget about them and end up with ~100 tabs open (and I don't notice that many are open because there's no speed decrease...)
