firefox crashing

[Harold Hartley]

I just installed kubuntu 6.10 on my laptop and also firefox.
Now I have noticed that most sites will cause firefox to crash and on my 
desktop, it doesn't have any problem.
I never had any problem with firefox on dapper drake and I can not 
figure out what may be the problem.
Anyone having the same problem.

I'm even noticing that when I log out and shut down the laptop, it also 
doesn't fully turn off but it just sits there with the kubuntu logo.
