I am a mod on a messageboard where I actually <i>want</i> it to keep the cookie that accurately marks which post I've already read, since I don't want to go back and read every whackjob's posts over and over again. It's to the point where I exclusively use IE now, because it's the only one that keeps everything properly. I always have issues with Firefox not keeping my cookies.

I think it is the extensions. I removed all of them and have only re-added the ones I can't do without (Adblock, de.licio.us, ForecastFox, etc.). It seems to be doing a little better, so we'll see. Every so often, though, I just need to remind myself that overzealous advocacy is a bad thing. It took me a good year of constant bugginess and crashes to finally admit when Netscape sucked and IE was better (how long ago was that?). I don't want to become complacent with Firefox if it really goes downhill. Actually, I am running 1.5.0.1. I think it is the extensions.

I had the same problems with 1.5 - but the 1.5.0.1 works like a charm. Also upgrading some extensions helps. Or removing them altogether. Please go and patch to the newest version.

FF 1.5 is a leaky monster. I got around it somewhat by doubling my RAM to 2GB but by the end of the day all that RAM is used. I hope they sort out these problems some day.
