I have used Firfox as my we= b browser on FreeBSD for many year, going back to at least Firefox v3 and p= robably v2. I can't say I've never had it crash, but in the past year I can= 't recall a single crash on FreeBSD. It has been rock solid. So why is it f= ailing or some people? (I'll note in passing that Firefox has been somewhat= less stable on Windows 7 where it seems to crash every couple of weeks. > > Possibilities include hardware, especially graphics, web sites visited, a= nd Firefox configuration. Lots of tabs may be an issue as I try to keep my = open tabs under 20. > I can't imagine trying to deal with 200+, but it must eat a lot of resou= rces. That may be tied to the failures reported. My experience with firefox is it gets slower and slower and slower until it's practically unusable until it's restarted (even having only the gmail tab open for days)
