This has got to be the most unstable mozilla since the early 1.0's :(
Been running with beta and alphas for a very long time, and this is the only one that insists
crashing within 5 min of usage in a highly irregular fashion so that it is impossible to know
what you shouldnt do.

Do you happen to have the firebug beta plugin installed? I had lots of crashes until I
disabled that.

Are you sure about that? I've had no problems with it since Beta 4, on both Ubuntu and WinXP. Problems must be down to plugins or extensions, with Flash being a prime candidate on Linux....

Yes, firefox 3 (beta 5) on amd64 + nspluginwrapper + flash is quite unstable here. Same with
gnash. But I never had a crash on a flash-free site.

I have more or less only positive experiences with FF3. It has been very stable for me.
Furthermore it is much faster and uses less ressources.
