    I'm running couple iceweasel browsers, one of them has movies content (movies online) and the other one has jvm. and it keeps crashing, I don't know why.... I think is is the memory issue of the iceweasel,

    Run it from a terminal and watch the output as it crashes. Post it back here so we can check it out.

    What type of movie? I have personally found flash and other movie types (quicktime, wmv, real, etc..) are very able to crash browsers (not just in Linux).....

    I am having the same problem, it's not your computer or ram, i'm running a dual 3ghz with 4gigs of ram and my iceweasel crashes constantly. At first it was just happening on video sites and stuff with alot of media and flash i'm guessing.. Now it just crashes whenever it wants, which is about every 10mins. I'm debating on switching browsers I thnk this is a major bug with iceweasel

    Hasnt crashed for me in darn near forever, not since around 1.0. Usually when IW/firefox start crashing it is an issue with extensions, themes, plugins or a corrupted profile. Try running it in safemode or starting it from a terminal/console and see what error messages you see.
