installing too many addons can cause this.

adding addons in one go causes this.

Install them one by one and keep th necessary ones.

Are you using Firefox 3 beta 1?I think it has some stability issues.Mine also crashes frequently,even though i haven't installed any plugins.I too suggest switch to Opera.

You must be using firefox 2.5 consider upgrading it and it will work fine

Don't worry about plugins opera has all plugins inbuilt.Opera also has some advanced features like mouse gestures,speed dial etc.
Once you use it,you will forget firefox.

Good Problem
Either :)
Restart in safemode & then disable all extensions
Re-enble them 1 by 1
Use Flashgot or Downthem all instead of download acelerator integrated
Or :)
Install Mr. Tech local Install
Then make all extensions compatible wid it
