I wouldn't say all the time - it's reasonably stable for me

still a bit of a memory hog (although I do regularly have a dozen or more tabs open)

Not recently. I had the occaisonal crash during the betas but none on the final.

Agree its a still a bush-pig in terms of memory usage with lots of tabs.

firefox 3 crashes all the time for me, I'm running Vista Ultimate on a Tablet PC .. (don't know if the "tablet pc" part is related to the bug?)

I'm on a tablet as well. Perhaps its that that is causing all the issues?

I read somewhere after some googling a suggestion by someone, find the ffox installation directory, go to the extensions folder, you'll find a folder inside it with random numbers and a file inside it called "install" dot something.
delete this directory (the numbers)

don't know if it helps, I did it about 3 hours ago and so far no crash yet, but this is not enough time to judge it!

Thanks hasen, i'll give it a try

actually deleting that folder didn't solve anything!

Here's a better fix: download firefox portable. (you can export/import your bookmarks, and if you install an addon you can also import/export your saved passwords)

Now it's much better, but it still crashes now and then. but much better than before.

look here:

"On some Tablet PCs, Firefox will crash suddenly. This is a known bug and is fixed in Firefox 3.0.1"

Thanks Again

Hasen, great fix. appreciate your efforts here. not one crash since!

im on a laptop and it crashes a ton for me too. back to internet explorer unfortunately.

Hi Z,

I found the fix outlined above worked but I ended up with other issues from FF. I'm currently a very happy Safari user.

Cheers

This has been happening several times a day for me to - and FF used to be the most stable thing out there! It's getting frustrating as hell!
