Firefox sporadically dies.

Dapper Dan

Under Fedora Core 1, Core 2 and Suse 9. 2 Professional, Firefox will, sporadically just die when I'm either going to a new web page, or making a new post on a forum. It happens often enough to be considered a nuisance.

Make XP default with Grub

I am a complet beginner with linux. I just installed linux on a second harddrive of a computer that already has XP on the first harddrive. Both operating systems work fine. My problem is with Grub. It allows me to select my OS from a menu but only allows 3 seconds and defaults to linux.
