Since loading the newest version of Firefox on my computer running Vista Home edition Firefox crashes after several hours of inactivity. If I leave the browser open and return in a few hours, Firefox hangs and a control/alt/delete pulls up "Firefox not responding" and I have to close the application. Upon opening it again I get the Firefox box of oops, do you wish to open a new session or return to the old one. This problem never happened in earlier versions. Also, you tout the newest version is faster - not so on my computer.

if you use vista, try install sp2, and if the problem still there , try google chrome 10.x to see whether it is better, sometimes these sort of problem only happen to some specific websites, and esp. during rush hours of internet, i.e. night hours from dusk to mid-night.
