Friefox frequently crashing

[Stephen Liu]

Hi folks,

On
Ubuntu-6.0.6-amd64
Ubuntu-6.0.6-i386

Firefox crashed frequently on both versions causing either;

PC hanging
OR
closing the browser
OR
closing the browser and exiting desktop simultaneously.  Relogin is
required.

Is there any fix?  

I suppose previously having seen a thread somewhere, suggusting
removing Firefox from the OS and reinstalling it from the package
download from its website.

Advice would be appreciated.  TIA

B.R.
