calling all computer geeks

or at least one, if they know the answer to this:

i recently installed firefox and it seems pretty frickin nifty, except...

it hangs my whole system on a regular basis. after a few minutes, the whole pc locks up and i have to shut down and restart. which i, at least, find to be a royal pain in the patoot.

i'm running win98 with 256MB RAM. the lock-up may be connected to using multiple tabs in firefox [not sure], but i'm hoping there's a better answer than "well then, don't use multiple tabs" -- tabs are part of its frickin niftiness, ya know??

do i simply lack the proper system requirements, or is there a patch for it, or what?
