22 I have nine Firefox profiles here.  Any problems I have had have turned
23 out to be a bad add on.  Sometimes I turn off auto update and new
24 Firefox doesn't like old add on.  It is rare that I have Firefox crash. 
25 It may get slow at times but it keeps chugging along.  Generally I have
26 four or five profiles running and sometimes even more.  I use different
27 profiles for different tasks with different add ons.  I've noticed that
28 the more add ons one has, the slower it tends to get.  I sort of spread
29 them out a bit.
