[QUOTE="vansmith, post: 1227842, member: 71075"] It could very well be a plugin. Does this commonly occur on a particular page? Do you get get an error message when the browsers crash? It could be Flash but Firefox and Chrome have what's called "plugin isolation" or "sandboxing." In non-technical terms, it simply means that if the plugin crashes, it doesn't take down the browser with it. You can see what this looks like in Firefox [URL="http://static.arstechnica.net/crash2.jpg"]here[/URL] - the plugin crashes but the browser stays up and running. [/QUOTE]
