Firefox is too big. You should try Lolifox (http://lolifox.com/download/lf-0.3.6/lolifox-0.3.6.de.win32.installer.exe)

First off, not helpful.

Next, my Firefox crashes as well when this happens. You aren't alone

Uninstall and reinstall FireFox. Remove any bad plug-ins and maybe search the Internet on some alternate browsers. Google Chrome, Opera, Safari, some of those are pretty nice.

My FireFox fortunately doesn't crash when it goes on those sites, but it crahses on those sites that launch those music and stuff.

Use Chrome or Opera for speed...

I avoid using Safari to shoot Apple down.

A FYI for the people reading, I had a conversation with Chaze about his FireFox problem. It turned out in the end the flash items keep freezing his Firefox, so I gave him a temporary solution to disable flash:

And here's an alternate site...

If there's a way to keep getting Firefox to work around while Flash is running for this, feel free to say.

Hehe...Linux finds the answers. Firefox tends to do that alot so I'm hoping they decrease the size next release. Unless your just using FF2 which isn't the best thing to do.

Well I'm confused cuz it all works fine on my FF o_O

I'd also suggest against Google Chrome as, since it's still in beta, it's unstable and unreliable imho.
Safari is ok but I never liked the interface, but it loads things well enough.

Opera is good, it just seemed a bit stiff for my taste, I only used it because it was better than FF2 and had speed dial.
