Yes I frequently see it crash into thin air, both on Ubuntu and on XP.
On my Ubuntu systems, which I use more, I get more crashes and
freezeups, usually associated with watching videos or listening to
music.  Google video seems to be worse for me than Youtube, and Guba is
perhaps not quite as bad as Google Video.  However, on my Ubuntu desktop
at home I can often leave firefox up for days and have it still be
functional.  Still, it would be nice if it could have the same kind of
stability that linux servers brag about.
