Firefox crash

[Marc M]

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...
