Occasionally ( Two three times a day) Firefox will crash while loading a page. I have to reboot to get Firefox to work. Its annoying and its why I stopped using IE.( and I am using a different computer since dumping IE)It does not have any consistent pattern. The page will start loading then break up. All graphics don't load. If you refresh the page the page breaks down even more. The only thing that resets it is rebooting.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.go onto a site
2.hit link to another page on site
3.doesn't have a consistent pattern to reproduce at will. If you go to facebook(it happens on other sites too) and move through any of the links to applications it will crash.
Actual Results:  
see above

Expected Results:  
the software should load the next page of the application without crashing

I notice their are lots of similar types of crashing, but could not find any solutions within them

Is Firefox actually crashing (exiting suddenly), or is it just failing to display pages correctly after a while?  If it's crashing, you should be able to get information from about:crashes that could help us identify the bug (paste a crash ID, or several, from there into this bug report).
