Hi Moose,
I use FF4 quite a bit and have encountered none of the problems you're experiencing. Are these problems unique to EvC Forum? If you have cookies or Javascript disabled then the site won't work for you, but otherwise EvC Forum should work just as good or bad as all other sites, except for simple sites with no active content. If you recently upgraded to FF4 then your problems shouldn't be due to not reloading/refreshing in a long time, but you might try that, or even restarting the browser, or even rebooting the whole machine.
It almost sounds like your problems got worse when you upgraded, so I'm also wondering if you have an old machine and/or operating system.
Problems happen at evcforum.net AND elsewhere. Computer gets shut down every night and rebooted the next session. I do defragment frequently (at least once daily).
Newer laptop computer - Came with Windows 7. I think I've had this computer for about 1 year.
Firefox 4.0 in Windows 7.
The refresh and back problems seemed to have shown up in the later days of Firefox 3. The crash problems go back a lot further, but I don't think all the way back to new computer.
Re: Crash problems - I do sometime have quite a few tabs open at the same time (20 or more in 2 or more windows). I wonder if this caused a stability problem. Although the actually crashes don't seem to happen right at maximum tab times. Also, as best I recall, the crashes seem to happen well into browsing sessions - Maybe garbage building up somewhere.
So, the question is, is it some sort of Firefox/Windows 7 combination thing? I think Windows 7 is at least close to current - Will now again check for updates - I don't think they happen automatically.
