FireFox 3: Crashes all the time!

Problem: Firefox 3 (and 2 before it) crashes all the time... like 20 times a day

Solution: Add FireFox to the DEP (Data Execution Prevention) whitelist.
  1. Control Panel -> System -> Advanced
  2. Click "Settings"
  3. Click the radio button that says "Turn on DEP for all programs... except..."
  4. Click the "Add" button
  5. Search for the FireFox.exe, usually C:\Program Files\Mozilla\FireFox\FireFox.exe
  6. Click "OK"
  7. Reboot

Note: I work on ASP.NET crap every day and use as many online services I can because I use 2 computers, one at work and one at the home office. I typically have 2 gmails open, RememberTheMilk and several ajaxified applications that I work on daily, plus other viral, "must see" websites, blogs, and news sources.

Cheers, but I get a message from DEP saying 'This program must run with data execution prevention (DEP) enabled. You cannot turn off DEP for this program.'

Any ideas?
