I can't use it anymore for some reason. Every time I open the Firefox browser it crashes within 5 or 10 minutes. I make sure to update the version that I have whenever necessary but it doesn't help. It's a shame because I really enjoyed using Firefox, but now I have had to go back to IE, which I hate.

I've been seeing reports of this lately - did you by any chance install an extension that saved your session or allowed reopening of closed tabs?

Frank,

I have seen this behavior on windows with many apps (though not with firefox)... Have you tried completely uninstalling Firefox then installing it again?

It seems to be related to image processing. If you load multiple, image-heavy sites there must be some kind of memory leak, because within about 15 minutes all of the Firefox windows will lock up, forcing you to kill them with Task Manager (in Windows). If you stay on FR and Yahoo! all day, you won't notice any problems.
