I don’t know why, but it seems Firefox crashes a lot on Linux.

I’ve never had that problem, except for when the Google Toolbar didn’t work with x64 Linux and would crash firefox every time you opened more than 3 browser windows.

There’s no doubt it’s a memory hog, but I haven’t had it crash on me in at least a year.

I rarely get a Firefox crash, but I get 1) flash applets stop working, and are replaced with a blank gray area, and 2) the flash plugin gets overwhelmed and drives the load up, causing Firefox to render pages really, really slow.

Firefox on Linux used to hang for me a lot as well. Since I managed to upgrade to a recent Adobe Flash add-in, Firefox has been more stable for me. Prior to the upgrade, I usually saw the hangs when (or shortly after) I closed a tab that had been displaying some Flash stuff.

I am having the same problem. I am running suse 11, on an older laptop. I chalked it up as a memory shortage on the computer but I don't know. Firefox on windows is nice but I am so used to MSIE there was a bit of a learning curve so on the Windows machine I'll stick with MSIE, but on Linux I'll try anything stable.
