I've had a myriad of problems with Opera and all versions of FF crashing with stuck processes under Vista. Have now removed ZoneLabs firewall and all seems right and have had no reocurrences.
I like Firefox. Very quick. But I like Opera too.

Perhaps I should get a mac ?
I was getting those issues with the old version.

I agree, IE8 is a very nice browser. I think I use FF more from habit than necessity to be honest now.

What version were you upgrading from? As I've only ever run 3.5β and RC (or, for a little while, Shiretoko which is some kind of nightly build version) I've only ever had a 3.5 profile. Maybe there are problems if you have a profile from a previous version? (That's pure conjecture on my part.)
Overall I'm finding it to be fine. On the other hand, I'm posting this using Chrome, and am sticking with Safari 3 on my MacBook for the moment.
Still, using it for development including lots of stuff like SVG, MathML and WAI-ARIA, together with bleeding-edge JS/DOM stuff, I'd expect any crashing bugs to show up pretty quickly, and I haven't seen any so far.
