Have you noticed the newest version 3.6.23 crashes frequently? Mine does it a few times a day on web pages that used to work fine before the upgrade.

Since the last Firefox update was installed on my system, Firefox crashes several times a day on websites that used to be no problem. I have five crash report id's from the last two days (I usually don't send the report). Do you want all of them?

I'm running Firefox 3.6.23 I'm running MacOS X version 10.5.8, on 1.5ghz powerPC G4 with 2gb memory and over 100gig still available on my 150gig hard drive.

I checked for updates - there are no new updates.

I tried sending feedback, but the feedback page said I had to be running the latest version of firefox. So I clicked on "latest version of Firefox", and got "Unfortunately the latest version of Firefox isn't compatible with your computer's operating system" The "learn more" link took me to http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/4.0/system-requirements/ which says that OS 10.5 is supported.

So - how do I get back to my previous version of Firefox so it doesn't keep crashing AND/OR Is there a fix coming to stop all the crashing AND/OR What do I do about Firefox versions on my computer?

Thanks

That can be a problem with a plugin, possibly Java.
