Firefox crashes
Regularly, sometimes three times a day Firfox begins to hang up and eventually crashes. I have tried most all the suggested fixes, virus scan with Norton, reload Firefox application. I notice that, in Windows Task Manager, that the Firefox process: firefox.exe*32 on start up will indicate about 250 MB of memory used and after an hour or two will exceed 2.5 GB is this an issue?

Some added toolbar and anti-virus add-ons are known to cause Firefox issues. Disable All of them.
