I'm a bit gutted because FireFox has been so good for several years but this update is making it unusable for me, so a temporary solution for me is to use Opera
Has anyone else had these issues with FireFox and what were your solutions?

What version are you on?
If it helped click the thumb
If it fixed it click 'This fixed my problem'

Most of the sites that have crashed FireFox were running flash applications, but other sites causing crashes have been static html, when it recovers from the crash, I'll check the site I've been on and usually it doesn't repeat the error, so I am at a bit of a loss.

But in the past I had a few funny issues with FF - so I uninstalled it - AND deleted the Mozilla Firefox folders - if you don't do that - a new install might reuse some of the corrupt files ?.

You can then put all your a settings back but you should put everything back except the General Settings. With MozBackup you can select which parts you want to put back
This means that all you bookmarks, cookies, passwords, etc. will be retained but not the basic Firefox settings which I would suspect are corrupted.

The version on the MAC seems to have stabilised itself, it was crashing at least twice a day, but yesterday it never crashed once, so I think it was something I done on the MAC (I'm quite new to the MAC, so still finding my way around) rather than FireFox itself.
For the PC version, I've still to run it in safe mode (using Opera the now), but I'm going to check if it is my plug-ins causing the problem

Doesn't matter which browser you use they all do it: IE, FF, Netscape, Seamonkey (note those 3 use the same engine). Not tried opera recently so can't comment on it. They're pretty much all gonna leak memory now as they seem to either use the IE engine or the mozilla or gecko engines. All three of them leak more than a broken pipe.
