Has anyone else noticed that firefox is less stable after the recent security update? I'm getting several occurrences per day of "just goes poof," i.e. probably seg fault.
I've noticed this on WinXP as well. Not only does it go poof, but sometimes it just decides to hang, stare at it's own navel, and gobble up 99% of the cpu time.

Having this exact same hanging issue. It was doing it constantly but the problem seems to have stopped. Probal shouldn't have said that as it will probably start again. :)
Can you start with a clean profile? If your machine is configured normally:
firefox --profilemanager
Make a new profile and use that one. If you get the problem to continue, then it's a real problem. If it goes away, then your profile got corrupted. This commonly happens during upgrades between firefox versions, especially when you have themes, extesions, configuration settings setup.
