I see that many people can organise their crashes in categories. But in my case, there are some sites that always crash, and some that may crash or not, and I don't know why. How can I stop that? It's terribly annoying, and if I can't fix that, I'll try another browser.

Add-ons

One of your add-ons might be the culprit. Try running Firefox in Diagnose Firefox issues using Troubleshoot Mode with all add-ons disabled. If that solves the problem, see Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems and possibly Troubleshoot issues with plugins like Flash or Java to fix common Firefox problems

Are your plugins updated? Check this by going to http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/plugincheck/

Are you using the newest version of Firefox?

It is important you use the latest version of Firefox because it includes stability and security updates. The latest version of Firefox can always be downloaded from http://www.getfirefox.com. You can check if you are using the latest version of Firefox by going to Help | About Mozilla Firefox. If you are not, see Update Firefox to the latest release
