Yeah constant crashes here too on hp tx1270, hp tx2100, flybook v5. Thanks for the tips, will disable the avg plugin and maybe try the beta too.

Firefox 3.0.1 is crashing on me about 5 times a day ... I'm running XP on a desktop w/ a P IV ... the older version didn't crash ... the new version SUCKS!!!!

I got an X61T and my Firefox Beta 3 was all good until I upgraded to the ver. 4 update - since then it kept crashing every 20-30 minutes until I gave up and now switched to Avant - don't know if I'll go back to Firefox once it's fixed, they got a lot of problems with my native language(Hebrew).

I've been facing continuous crashes on my X61 for several months now - it would be *so* great if that dark chapter was at an end now. Up to now, reinstalling FireFox, add-ons and extensions did not help at all. Keep your fingers crossed...

actually it would be interesting to know why in the first place this happened to tablet devices...i'm using xp and vista on different computers, non of them tablets and never ever had crashes...that's to..strange

Big props go to Jordan and the Mozilla team because I haven't had a single crash yet on the UMPC since installing this yesterday. w00t!

THANK YOU! My Firefox 3 has been crashing non-stop and I was really worried I would have to go back to IE.....*shudders*.

I am having random crashes with ff3 mainly with gmail and google/ig (and other sites too) at least two to three times a day. That's on my LG C1.

what a pain to read so many comments about the crash, but it's a relief to see that you're not alone...i went back to FF2 because it crashed uncountable times on my vista tx2120...

i'll give this beta a try...

THANKS A LOT FOR T HIS VERY USEFUL POST!

TX 2000 (vista) working great with new beta. Mind you, I never once thought about going back to IE

I've also seen lots of crashing. I don't have a tablet PC, but I think the tablet functions were enabled by my Wacom Intuos3 drivers. I'm on Vista.

My Motion M1300 suffered from freezing Firefox 3. However, I tried the various fixes suggested, and disabling the surf protection feature of AVG seemed to have fixed it.

I've been getting at least a half-dozen crashes a day on my Tx2000. When I uninstalled the Better Gmail extension, that calmed it down a bit, but I've still had 3 today.

I was thinking it was only me, but I guess this must explain it.

took me a while to figure out i needed this one: firefox-3.0.1.en-US.win32.installer.exe

I wish it just crashed on my desktop - instead mine freezes not just Firefox, but just about everything using the internet connection. Can't even get to sites with IE. Have firefox.exe running also when Firefox is closed. Best soln I've seen online is to use SysInternals ProcessExplorer. Hopefully it will at least allow me to kill the process next time. (I get access denied normally, so I'm stuck otherwise and even a shutdown doesn't proceed normally.)
