I have also had random crashes with ff, both on windoze 2k, and RH/Fedora 3 and earlier. I am so accustomed to it, that I assume that it just crashes when it gets overwhelmed or clobberred. Like for example, if you have a lot of web pages open, then use File/Open to open a pdf file, the pdf may make it crash -- the app is already working hard to serve up 10 or 12 tabs' worth of pages. Other than the 'overhwelming' or 'clobberring' issue, I have had a _few_ times in which Mozilla/Firefox has just crashed, when I wasn't putting it under a heavy strain. One of those times I distinctly remember, was a coldfusion page, and I got it to reproduce, too. I didn't pursue it any further though due to lack of knowledge of the programming variables and such, and also because even though that seems scientific, it still really isn't, so I draw no solid conclusions. Still, it would be nice if the browser got just a little more stable. Still a great browser though...
