Flashblock is another good reason. Those two extensions are my essentials.

I could talk about what I like about firefox all day and night. I have a whole lot of extensions that help me with firefox.
one of my favorites is foxmarks - where I can sync my bookmarks across multiple computers. That just rocks the house.
I also love ubiquity - which lets you do all kinds of things across various websites through keystrokes.

I love Firefox but ever since I installed 3.0.5, it crashes constantly. I'm this close to giving up and returning to IE (oh noes!). Anyone else experiencing this? I'm running Windows XP Professional v 5.1 (this is on my work computer).

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
I use Firefox 3.0.5 on XP Pro 2002 SP 3 and haven't had any problems....
What is 'v 5.1'?

Glam, why don't you revert back if you are having problems. I think you can go back to 3.0.4

This conversation prompted me to (finally) search around to troubleshoot. I found this article [link] and am currently running Firefox in safe mode to see if I still have trouble.

You can also go with Firefox 3.1 Beta. I've been using that for awhile (XP SP3 and Vista SP1) and it has been working really well.

You should try Fucking Suicidal Mode. It crashes your computer, but oh! What a ride!
