Firefox Stability Problems - Have you seen them?

• Firefox's use of physical and virtual memory is exceptionally high.
• CPU usage spikes to 100 percent (usually while loading a Web page).
• The browser freezes up for seconds, minutes, or permanently.
• The browser won't launch until they remove an errant "firefox.exe" process in Task Manager.
• The browser crashes suddenly (usually while loading a Web page).
• The browser has trouble loading specific pages, but there's no commonality among users as to which pages won't load.
• The initial launch of Firefox loads slower.
• Third-party application hyperlinks (such as a link in an e-mail message) take a long time to open a new Firefox tab or to launch the browser.
