Have you tried running it in safe mode to see if it's one of the addons
causing the problems?

If you're having crashes get the session-manager addon. It does a much
better job than the builtin stuff.

I pretty well only have problems with flash sites. Maybe whatever version
of gnash is available for Intrepid finally works. Haven't yet tried it.
