I like firefox, but it's been crashing a lot lately.
I think I need to reinstall windows xp just get IE back up and running... it crashed hard about a year ago, and never does boot up any more...
But Firefox does everything I need a browser to do.

Have you done a spyware scan? A lot of malware changes your home page and installs controls which habitually crash. Odds are, you're 0wn3d by hax0rz.

I like firefox, but it's been crashing a lot lately. 99 times out of 100, when FF starts crashing regularly it's due to an extension or theme you have installed. One thing you might try is uninstalling your extensions/themes, and adding them back in one at a time until you find the offender.
