Anyone else having problems with FF3 crashing?

It seem's to be happening at random but also on
web pages such as autotrader site.

Anyone heard of any problems or suffering the same?

    Nope, mine has been fine since I installed it on the day it came out (and before). Mine updated to v3.0.1 tonight. Have you tried that?

    However, I keep getting a "Connection Reset" error and have to reload the page.

    Yep, my Firefox 3 has started crashing too. We're running vista, on PC and laptop, and it is crashing on both... :confused:

    Check that any add ons you use are still compatible with the new version. When I did the upgrade to 3.0.1 I had some issues caused by the Yahoo tool bar, reinstalled the add on and now have a very stable FireFox
  • I downgraded back to Firefox 2.

    3 offered nothing extra, half my extensions didn't work, and it kept crashing and wouldn't restart until i had reset my computer.

    Although it hasn't happened to me, I read elsewhere that if you go to add/remove, and take off everything FF, then reinstall from their website, in case you have a corrupt file.

    Some discussions elsewhere on the Internet point to a conflict between FF3.0 and Vista (32 and 64bit).

    Must admit that since taking the recent FF3 update, I've not seen any crashes.
