My OS2008 browser doesn't crash as you describe, but it does have issues on zoom with computing where text is supposed to be. It often will end up with negative margins in table data.

I suspect that your problem may berelated to one particular add-on application, or it may be a shortage of memory. My Nokia 9300 PDA/phone's Opera browser always did things like this when it was running short of memory to function in.

What apps did you install? Was the Ad-blocker one of them? It is enormous and a CPU hog as well. I don't run it though I am tempted with some sites.
