Firefox crashes when too many (3) tabs/windows open

 Firefox crashes if too many tabs (3) are opened, if 2 browser windows are open, in Yahoo mail (deleting npYState.dll did not fix it) and does not give me a crash report. Internet explorer is not having problems like this.

This happened

Every time Firefox opened

== After downloading 3.6.6

Go to the address about:crashes and tell us your latest crash IDs. We can then look at the data specific to your crash and have a better idea of what is causing the problem.

Or you can go to Start and type in the Vista search box %APPDATA% then click on Roaming then go to Mozilla>Firefox>Crash Reports>Submitted then open the .txt files and copy the Crash report ID that starts with bp-xxxxx-xxxx

I checked and the last submitted report was 3/28/2010. This date is the same in the pending folder as well. Whenever it crashes I do not get a crash report.

That's fine. Please give me the crash id.
