Firefox, for the most part, is a stable browser. However, even the most stable browsers crash. Firefox 2.0 has a great feature built in called "Session Restore". With older versions of Firefox you had to install the Session Restore extension to gain this functionality. In the event of a browser crash or accidental shutdown, you are given the option to restore all the tabs and pages that you had open before the browser prematurely closed. This feature alone makes Firefox very attractive.
