Firefox Crashing Constantly

Whether it's gmail, yahoo mail, or a web form, FF (1.5) keeps crashing at least once a day when interacting with it. Help!?
EDIT: And yes, I clear the cache every single day, no dice. I think it's related to the password storage.

What extensions are you running?

Well, I'd really suggest moving to the new adblock, the one you are using is waaaay old.
Adblock plus FTW:

Plus it has a built in filterset updater (i think).
I'd also suggest creating a new profile.
Just copy over your bookmarks file, and start fresh.

Adblock is known to be a problematic extension.

Whats it even do? I don't get popups and shit with vanilla FF: does it block banner providers or something?

Yes. Those annoying GIF's, the 'Shoot the Monkey, Win an iPod!' dealies, as well as any other advertisments that you don't want cluttering up your load times.

Exactly.

Nothing's fucking working.
At all!!
EDIT: Worse, the more I poke and prod it to try getting it fixed, the worse and more often the crashes get. Hell, it crashes with 100% certainty when uninstalling an extension, and I suspect that causes damage too.

Hmm, it was either Adblock, Gmail Notifier, or a comination of both, but it appears the problem is licked for now...

Odd, I have both of those (as well as a crapload more than I remembered when I checked), and I have zero crashing problems.

It's definitely licked. Now to find a very lightweight extension that blocks Flash ads and not flash-only-site interfaces (which still suck but nowhere as much).

This should do the trick.
