That's interesting you mentioned a few months ago. That's probably about the same time I started having typing lags and just this afternoon I left it running idle and again it crashed leaving me with the crash reporter running. I did find Safari ran without issue all day today.
I wonder what has changed in firefox to make it sluggish and so unstable. Having seen this behavior on 3 different mac systems combined with your recent experience and choice seems to validate my experience as not tied to a particular computer issue. Has Firefox always been a memory hog? I can't say I've noticed that but I never really monitored it. I have noticed on my 2009 MBP running 10.6.8 that with my normal startup page with about 10 tabs I can see the computer heat up even when I'm not browsing on any page and when I start scrolling around FB or browsing the CPU temp kicks way up.
Did you determine Firefox was a memory hog by checking out Activity Monitor ram usage?

choice, until some changes made it sluggish and memory hog. Chrome is much
better, and I only use Firefox when I need a browser to load a 32-bit
plugin like the Aspera Connect browser plugin.
