(Writing this post over an ssh connection to
devmike.com from the laptop.) Firefox (v1.0.4 on the laptop and on
my desktop) will crash. It might be rarely, but it does crash from
time to time. I have some extensions installed, and one which can
save what I've visited is
Enhanced
History Manager

It has more options and, a minor benefit is that you can add a
button on your toolbar to open the manager. Useful.
I did have to download Firefox v1.0.4 to permit extension
installations.
