Firefox frequently stops working and this seems to have something to do DEP
(Data Execution Prevention) as the DEP icon appears in th system tray after
each crash. I have tried to turn off DEP for Firefox but system insists
that Firefox must run with DEP on. Is there a solution to this problem?

Just a word of warning for Firefox users, If you are using Zone Alarm for your Firewall, you can have problems with Firefox not being able to restart if you turn it off, and possibly not being able to turn off Vista. when you want to shut down the computer. I have removed Zone Alarm and replaced it with Comodo Firewall.
This has resolved problem for me, and have done that on another computer
that has Vista with Zone Alarm, and will see how that goes. It doesn't seem
to make sense the a Firewall would cause problems between Firefox and Vista,
but it does, and if you are having problems with Firefox stopping while you
are browsing, that will resolve that problem also. Anyone with Vista and
Firefox is strongly advised by me to remove Zone Alarm and replace it with
Comodo. Comodo is about 75 meg in size, so it could take a while download it
with a slow internet connection.
