Killing Firefox helps but as tom says it would be nice to > just kill a tab. Well both of you may want to check out a developer build with electrolysis enabled for tab per process fun - hopefully that will work out better for you. But it honestly sounds like your problems are of your own making rather than Firefox, there are so many conflicting variables: crazy GPGPU stuff, weird and probably proprietary sec cam servers, X screensaver locks and loads of dodgy plugins. Seems a bit unfair to be constantly pointing the finger at firefox instead of all the other weird stuff you seem to be doing. I repeat, I've been using Firefox since it was Phoenix on every OS it runs on: Android, Mac, Linux, Solaris, Irix, Windows, etc, etc. I use tons of plugins, customise the hell out of it, frequently build my own nightly versions and except perhaps the shell, use it more than any other program. Must have spent thousands and thousands of hours clicking around the net in Mozilla's finest at this point... and it *never* breaks for me. YMMV, and it evidently does which confuses me slightly. Just what the hell are you people doing to it? You need to start reading your crash logs and figuring out what's really going on on your machines. I think I might have also spotted a pattern - how many of you reporting Firefox crashiness have got 'weak' computers that you're trying to accomplish an ambitious amount of stuff on? Show of hands please. For example, if I remember rightly Tom's not exactly rocking the latest hardware...
