Firefox continually crashes when I get on websites with a lot of data such as ESPN or MSN news. Safe mode doesn't help and refresh helps for a very short time and then the crashes start again. I haven't tried IE or Chrome because I've been using Firefox for a long time and I'm familiar with it. I've checked Task Manager and my oyher tasks are few or none. Please help!
