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.
