When I open up multiple tabs (4 of my newspapers) at the same time Firefox crashes/freezes my computer without any possible way to recover but pushing the reset or power button.

This happens to me as well. And I'm in Windows. I'll be using Firefox 2.0.0.3, and have some tabs opened up, and then my computer just freezes. I believe this would be a Firefox issue, and not an Ubuntu issue.
