Hi,

I have the same behaviour here on my known-good memory (8GiByte)
'workstation', both for Firefox (have about 100 tabs open, spread over
four windows) and Thunderbird, w/Thunderbird having 'uptimes' of a few
weeks regularly, while FF tends to crash every ten to 15 days (give or
take).

To sum it up: I don't really think it's a memory problem. It can't be
excluded, of course, but maybe there's more crash prone stuff in there.

Something interesting that I picked up is that Thunderbird will close randomly (very seldom though) as well, so I don't know if it's Firefox specific though.

I have picked up that it happens more often when my PC's memory usage is above 2GB RAM, and memtest86+ didn't indicate any memory problems. If I have less tabs open, it happens less often, but the more tabs I have open, the more often it happens.


At the same time, on the same PC, when I'm in Windows XP SP3 (dual boot), I can have many more tabs open as well as Thunderbird, Quickbooks, Photoshop CS3 and some other applications, and it doesn't cash.
