I haven't noticed that, yet. One thing I have noticed, however... My homepage is iGoogle. On that homepage I have the GoogleReader widget for blogstuffs. It usually has more than 5 unread items in it, so it has scroll arrows which work through javascript (they also nicely work with the mousewheel, probably through some event trapping, but that's irrelevant since the problem still manifests itself just clicking on the arrows). On my laptop (an Acer 5610Z) with Hardy and FF3 installed, whenever I try to scroll through this list, FF3 crashes. Consistently. But it's only on my laptop; I also have Hardy and FF3 (same versions) installed on my home desktop and I can scroll through the Reader widget there just fine. I know this isn't the place to report bugs, and one of these days when I have time I plan to actually isolate the javascript causing the error and file a bug report to the Firefox team. I'm just wondering if anyone else has noticed this or other javascript crashes in FF3, and also if they might have any idea why it would be (apparently) hardware dependent.
