User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.1; en-US; rv:1.9.1.7) Gecko/20091221 Firefox/3.5.7
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.1; en-US; rv:1.9.1.7) Gecko/20091221 Firefox/3.5.7

i get crashes at what appear to be random intervals, under different circumstances. I am unable to reproduce on demand, but generally i get 3 to 4 a day (i only use it for a few hours a day). the program will crash, and then the bug reporter app will appear. after submitting it will attempt to restore my tabs. sometimes this is successful, others it will simply crash again. if it crashes again, it brings up the tab recovery menu. I usually try to recover my tabs, sometimes successfully, other times it will crash again after opening the tabs, and some times it will crash before i can move my mouse. i have tried firefox with no add-ons, and have tried to re-install firefox.

Also, it doesn't appear to save settings just before the crash. For example, if i open a link in a new tab, and then it crashes, when it comes back, the tab and that link will no be there, even after 4 or 5 seconds.
