thanks for this advice!
I don’t have the Google Gears addon but I’ll keep this in mind.

I also use firefox as my main browser but for posting on my blog I use IE because I have less problems with formatting and firefox always wants to leave some unnecessary, visible HTML code. I think part of the problem comes from using the visual editor instead of the HTML editor.

I’ve had some trouble with Firefox crashing during my use of WordPress lately, so this is great information to have, thanks!

So,yes, as I’ve found online in various places, disabling Google Gears stops the crashing problem. But for me, it also takes away the nice Edit Photo tool that popped up when you click on a photo in the visual editor (I use it to size down the full-size photo to the 640 pixel width my blog will display so that the full-size will still display once someone clicks on a photo). Anyway, I suppose I could figure out how to do what I need to in the HTML editor, but that seems like a waste of my time. I just want to work on my photos, not the code behind the page. Ah well, we’ll see how it all works out.

Instead of disabling Gears, you can install the IE Tab add-on and edit WP in an IE tab within Firefox. That way, you get the best of all worlds. (Firefox, Gears and IE in that one Firefox tab).
