The last few days, my Firefox has been freezing at random times. The CPU usage shoots up to 50% and it's often consuming 200 MB of memory, which after it begins to freeze, increases at 3-5 MB/s. Has anyone had similar problems? I haven't changed my addons in months. I updated to 3.6 after the problem began, but it didn't change anything. I'm hoping someone has some insight on what's causing this issue, because I'm running out of ideas here.
Firefox has had a huge memory leak since v3 was released, and it hasn't been patched yet. Your best bet is to just close and reopen, or switch to another browser such as Opera.

I've been closing and reopening, but sometimes it happens within fifteen seconds of starting it back up, which is too much. I switched to Chrome for now, but I've been using v3.x since it was released without this problem.

I have version 3.6 and have absolutely zero problems with it. Is there anything specific you're doing when it crashes? Perhaps a particular plugin maybe. I used to have some problems with Flash, but that's been fixed for a while now.

I've already made all those changes in the about:config. I think it's somehow Facebook's fault, because even in Google Chrome it would keep telling me that Facebook's tab was causing problems and needed to close. Thanks for the help all, I'm just going to see how it plays out with and without a Facebook tab open.
There has recently, within the last 3 days or so been a massive flood of virus infected facebook ads, which they are still trying to clean up. It was bad enough it actually made the computer news section of google news. You may be experiancing effects related to that.
