   I don't think Firefox is "buggy" exactly. It just demands and uses   
   tremendous amounts of RAM. Some of that is probably exacerbated by   
   various plugins. Adobe Flash is particularly bad - it tends to suck up   
   the RAM and is not very scrupulous about returning it. I've gotten in   
   the habit of restarting Firefox every once in a while, especially if   
   I've been watching Youtube for a while.   
      
   I see the same issues using Firefox in other OSs - it's not just an XP   
   thing. Still, I like its features and customization, so I put up with   
   it.

   I've seen the crash report window a few times, but it's certainly not a   
   regular thing. If I were you I'd try disabling all extensions and   
   plugins and add them back until I found the problem one. You might also   
   try creating a new fresh profile, which could avoid any possible   
   corruption in your old one.
