Firefox and Win 7 Reliability Monitor

Firefox has not crashed once for me(that I have noticed) since I formatted and put Windows 7 on my desktop. However, the reliability monitor says that it has a few times. Each red X is a time where it says Firefox has stopped working. I'm using Firefox 3.5.5 and the only add on is Adblock Plus.

I'm asking that people who have not had Firefox crash on them(that they know of) to check their reliability monitor and see if Windows says it has crashed. You can get to it by pushing the windows key and typing reliability and selecting view reliability history. You can also get to it by going to the control panel, action center, maintenance, view reliability history.

It would also be interesting to hear from people who use IE8 or Chrome to see if Firefox is the only browser that does this or not.
 
Haven't had it happen with Chrome. For me it's Windows Mail. It shuts down but sometimes when I open it again I get the stopped working message. If it wasn't for that I would be tens across the board. 7 seems to have issues with programs shutting down, maybe? I had a few of your deals with Firefox and Vista. If it wasn't for reliability monitor I wouldn't have known about them.
 
I think apps sometimes soft crash, but don't appear to to the users. I've had Windows tell me apps have crashed when I shut them down, but everything appeared ok to me. It's either a flaw in Window's monitor, or something didn't go quite right at shutdown, and Windows reports it.
