Good news about the start post-crash avoids the problem page. A slow work computer is why I ended up on Chrome as well. I really like the way Chrome segregates pages into multiple processes. Losing something meant losing a few tabs but not everything. My browsing habits can result in opening 20-50 tabs at a time. In Firefox that means consuming 200-600 MB of memory which brings Fx to a crawl. :( No Chrome process gets over 70MB. Agree Firefox 3.5 significantly improves upon 3.0.11 when it comes to starting.
