I've had problems with FF3.6.xx locking up/crashing on attempting to open a 4th to 5th tab or so for awhile now, even after a complete uninstall and re-install of FF. Same issue when I was using FF4beta10 (haven't tried later betas or the release version yet). Appears unique to this particular notebook, which has had no add-ons installed except IETab 2.
FF3.6.xx has never locked up or crashed regardless of the number of open tabs on two other machines I have, one a notebook and one a desktop, both with IETab 2 and AdBlock Plus; the desktop also has NoScript. Seems machine-specific rather than add-on specific to me. Interestingly, the machine that has had the problem with FF crashing is the only one of the three to have had IE8 installed, and the problem only began after the IE8 install... scratches chin

EDIT: Just remembered all 3 machines also have Back-To-Top installed.
