Using ATI video drivers will lead to random crashes on many sites. Mac OS ATI driver versions affected: All (?) Windows ATI driver versions affected: 5.13.1.6118 (Mac OS) Workaround: set your screen to 'Thousands of colors' rather than 'Millions'. (Windows) Possible Workaround: Revert to an older driver (6094?)-- Untested (Bug 101055)
So, looks like I'm suffering from mozilla bug 101055! Sure enough, I installed Opera instead, and for the last two days I've been crash free. I decided to go back to firefox just to try it out, and within 10 minutes had crsahed again!
the hting is, I don't rally like opera. it just seems clunkier than firefox - even with the fact that I don't have all the extensions I've come to take for granted, there are other things like pages definitely don't load as fast and sometimes images don;t load properly. Could be because it's 9.0 beta, but still. One thing I'm definitely not doing is use IExplore! Maybe when IE7 has been out for a while and ppl figure out how to disable all the sneaky stuff MS have put in.....
Going to download Mozilla 1.7 and see if the smae problem is happening there.
