I have used minefield for a couple of months.
It hangs often but I understood that such version can.
Because of some reasons I needed more stable version. And here is the problem.
I have minefield, GranParadiso and Firefox 3 beta3 on one PC.
1. As I mentioned above I have recently used minefield - it hangs every 5 minutes while I tried to follow a link on the page.(open in new tab)
2. I have uninstalled minefield and start using GranParadiso - same effect 
3. I have uninstalled GranParadiso and start using Firefox 3 beta 3 - same effect

Conclusion it hangs on random sites every a few minutes independently on the version I am using.

How it crash: Open a page (google and follow some link) and then try to follow another link. it crash about every 10-20 jumps. Program restarts and then ask if I want to start with previous pages. Answer is always Yes. Then I try to follow this problematic link again and again open the pave in a new tab. Program crash again! I can repeat it a few times. Sometime it help If I do not watch the tab with the problem (jump and quickly switch to another one), after loading part of the page I can view the page without problems. 

If you need any help or additional description does not hesitate ask. [e-mail]
 



Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Open Firefox
2.Open a random site
3.Follow a link in a new tab
4. Follow another link in a new tab (Usually I have 3-10 open tabs)
5. Firefox crash on last jump. 
6. Program restarts and ask if I want to restore previous session. Answer is Yes.
7. The problematic page is not re-loaded, so I try to open the problematic link again in a new tab.
8. Program crash again.-> go to point 6.
9. Sometime it help to not watch the problematic tab. (Jump and quickly change the tab for a couple of seconds, after that usually I can view the page)
10. It happen in minefield, GranParadiso and Firefox 3beta3

Actual Results:  
Program crash ever 10-20 jumps

Expected Results:  
Not crash while I try to open a page

Please ask If you need more info.

I have just observed it without using new tab for a jump. It crash even while I just click on link.

Please install Firefox3 final and if you still get the freeze with Firefox3 final then run Firefox in the Firefox safemode:

Be also sure that you have the latest flash plugin installed (Version 9 r124 or 10 Beta2)

Thank you. I will remember for the next time.
I have "Version 9 r124" flash plugin.


This time helped:

Filemonitor in a crash moment shows me that Firefix has problems with files:

cookies.sqlite-journal
content-prefs.sqlite-journal

in a folder
C:\Documents and Settings\Jobist\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\ducyoeln.default\

I have just deleted all files from this folder (except subfolders) and applicatoin is stable now.

Hard solution, but work. I suspect that it could be some problems with addons... or comodo firewall.

Thank you for help and quick reaction.
