1. What version?
I honestly don't know. Do know, however, that after updating to 3.0.5, I now have to end task in task manager most of the time to get the process to quit (even after I "X" out). Curious what others are going to advise you.

5. I got that auto update too...
I haven't had any crashes yet. Maybe try disabling some of your plug-ins and see if that will help with the crashes?

Sorry I don't have a solution for you... And I'm not just posting to rub-it-in that mine seems to be working fine!
Just wanted to let you know that the upgrade isn't causing crashes for everyone.

FYI - running XP SP1

6. I am on xp sp1 - don't think I installed anything else - that is an auto update
not sure how to change that - not sure why it is crashing - interesting you are fine - so it must be something else that is in combination with it

You have to uninstall Firefox, and then reinstall the requested version from here:
