This probably happens for you that often, because other OS' don't crash that often with Firefox in use.
I use SeaMonkey mostly, and it don't crash itself (and OS) much more frequently than that in Windows or Ubuntu.
But sure, at home I use BeOS 99% of time.
Also BeOS has a very poor cache/transaction flush management: if the cache is constantly in use (ie. when you're playing some songs in the background), BeOS will never flush the cache, unless a transaction is actually finished (and not just joined with the previous one). Therefore I pretty often "sync" in BeOS manually (as Dano is not that stable).

I thought about adding flush() in several places in code related to file transactions with ifdef BeOS, but it seems too hacky and troublesome. Also I wasn't sure if it has desired effect for files, open for browser lifetime - until proper close() call. And this is how Mozilla seems handling those files, like prefs.js.
