It cant be spyware or trojan .. Its a problem in 1.5 v I think .. It should improve by only next release

And by keeping the Quality Feedback Agent on .. sendin the crashing report should help the developers

Well I am not having the problem anymore. I have done two things and finally got rid of the problem.

1. I was using Google Web Accelerator. I disabled it.
2. I uninstalled the extension Extended Statsu Bar.

now which action of mine solved it i dunno :?

Even I'm having the same problem. One more thing. Whenever I open up my Yahoo account with the new BETA interface, 8 out of 10 times, firefox crashes. I though that it might be a coincidense. But I have got it to crash almost everyday when I open my email.
I think there is some problem with the scripts.

Firefoz crashes n't coz of spyware, buy bcoz of Anti-Spyware (MS Antispyware ). Ever since i removed it, everything is workin fine

I don't have MS Antispyware. But still crashes often. I think the cause should be something else.
