if u go into add ons and uninstall all unused versions of java and leave the latest one in use worked for me alot of the time firefox crashes due to uncleared cache or crashing add ons works for me hope this helps

Google Chrome FTW

Google Chrome is officially the fastest browser around at the moment!
However, Firefox 4 is is greased lightning compared to IE9 official testing speeds.
I always use Firefox out of loyalty to the Mozilla Project who have fought to offer a decent free browser alternative to IE, the latest version Firefox 4 is extremely stable and fast, I have ditched Firefox 3.6 due to too many updates in a short period.
I have also tried Firefox for android but it needs more work before it will replace Opera on my HTC.
