I have around 200 tabs loaded, and when FF crashes, or my OS crashes, or if I alt+f4 FF, many of my most recent tabs are lost. Any idea whats going on?

Let's work on your crashes first;

In the address bar, type about:crashes<enter>. Note: If any reports do not have BP in front of the numbers/letters, click it and select Submit.

The crash report is several pages of data. We need the report numbers to see the whole report.

Using your mouse, mark the most resent 7 - 10 crash reports, and copy them. Now go to the reply box below and paste them in.
