I've been having Firefox (on Windows) freeze a lot lately. Anyone else experiencing problems?

Works great for me (linux). The only trouble I have with it is when I right-click a picture to save it. It sort of crashes, though after canceling that and trying again it's fine.

Works well for me as well when I use it at school (windows, of course).

Many Firefox stability issues have been traced back to the Flash plugin.

Yeah same here; also when ever I click a javascript "close window" link, firefox crashes, they sorta ruined it.

Anyone know where to get the talkback extension? The one that comes up when firefox crashes. I don't seem have it.

my browser keeps locking up when I try to go to arstechnica.com. Could be a proxy problem, though.

So is it only me who is having that problem with the "Close Window" thing?
If so... it might just be an extension installed, not sure.

Works fine here.
I'm using the portable (USB) version, though.

I've always had a problem where FireFox crashed 1/2 the time when I get the private message notice popup + sound.

Hehe, I only have SearchPluginHacks and DictionarySearch. I'm pretty sure it's a problem with QuickTime?
