It crashes within 2.5min of opening. I am running Mac OSX 10.6.7.

A friend advised me to reboot the computer. I did that and still had the problem. Firefox has been increasingly problematic since some weeks ago when it rebooted and lost a lot of my favorites, which I was able to recover with Xmarks but only partly, as I explained here:

I am not trying to start a thread to draw attention to the other thread. This is a totally new problem.

I normally run FF with most of 30 tabs open. I'm trying to cut back but since I had the problem with the favorites I have been reluctant to add any new favorites, and thus need fewer tabs open all the time, because if I am eventually able to restore my old favorites list from the Xmarks archive, the restoration will delete my current list in whatever state its in.

I looked on Mozilla's support forum page and it was full of complaints about the crashing problem and had not help on it whatsoever.

What should I do?

edit: I just realized I signed in to GeekPolice with my girlfriend's account. This is actually Jon Mandelbaum. I apologize about the mixup. Mods: is it possible to transfer this post to my account or should i just log into that one and start over? Thank you
