I installed Firefox 2.0.0.x in an effort to stop this problem, but it still happens just not as frequently. I have heard it doesn't happen in Firefox 3, along with a few other annoying traits that have developed in the Firefox line. I have tried Opera on the machine that Firefox was crashing on and it seemed to help at first but then it got progressively slower to the point of being unusable. There is a discussion in this list recently of the same type issues with Seamonkey.

Just out of curiosity, has anyone noticed a problem that hasdeveloped with firefox? This started on both of my machines after the newest updates. I'll be at a website, even the mozilla website, and when I click on a link to go to another part of the site or to download a file, Firefox will just simply close. It's random for the most part, but it happened quite often at the sourceforge.net website too. I'm not having this problem with Seamonkey.
I'll second this. Firefox seems to crash all the time now. I'll try to perform a harmless action like log in to my webmail or post a message in a forum, and woosh, it's gone. This is beginning to be a bit unnerving.
One question, by the way: how did you install Seamonkey? Did you install the tarball from mozilla.org?
Firefox is a very popular cross-platform browser.
What are people's thoughts of Opera, which is in the same category?
