Firefox, long quite stable, has crashed 3 times today, generally while

else noticed this? Could there be some connection with the new version

Disable the flash plugin (in safemode if you have to) and see if this
continues.
Just did that, and Firefox crashed after about 10 minutes of use.
So it's not flash.
Further problems (all with flash disabled) at:
3/13 at 23:19 crash
3/13 at 23:48 crash
3/14 at 00:19 froze (didn't respond to keyboard or mouse)
3/14 at 00:40 crash
And not bad memory, since I haven't had any trouble with other programs,
also ran memtest86+ for a couple of passes without finding anything bad.

For what it's worth, Thunderbird crashes often on my own machine, if for
any reason I have to shut it down, or log off, after two or more hours
of use. Sometimes the only remedy is to shut down the machine itself and
let it cool off for an hour or so. I have the Mozilla Bug Reporter
installed, so I assume I'm making regular reports of this problem every
time it happens. And they've never solved it.
I used to have a problem with Firefox crashing in the middle of an
interactive session. And sometimes I have to kill it when it starts
taking up half my CPU resources to run some script or other. But I
haven't seen anything like what Jon is describing--not with Firefox, anyway.
