Firefox 1.5.0.8 on MDV2007(free) shuts off


Hi all,
I have noticed this in some other distros also but when you sometimes click on a new page or even the "back" icon, Firefox will just terminate..Period!! I have installed the latest version for this distro and I have emptied the cache and all cookies but it still quits in the middle of a web page including this LQ forum..
Does any one know why Firefox is so unstable?
All other packages on this distro seems to be stable except this one..
Can't figure this one out..
Thank you for any help or suggestions,
jolphil
Typo: that should be MDV2007 not MVV2007....

Do you have the flash plugin installed? If so try disabling it or uninstalling it and see if that makes any difference.
