I would have to ask wth you are doing that it crashes that much. I'm not the biggest fan of firefox and am upset that it has crowded out the mozilla suite, which is much better imho. I have had firefox crashes, but nearly not that often. Sometime after 0.8 it just got signficantly more unstable, and slower for that matter....

It seems like Java things are far more likely to crash in firefox...

u235, is that the suite or FF? if i could apt-get install opera, i'd probably take it for a spin. it's apparently a lot snappier than FF. Hmm, maybe i can try Konqueror...eww KDE app. well, it could happen. amarok kicks ass (whew, off topic...). I can't wait for IE7 b/c then maybe I could code a webpage without it sucking balls to 90% of the people that look at it. (of course, that would require them upgrading to IE7, but that's another issue entirely).

You never heard of mozilla? It's what they released far before FF. It's a whole suite (Navigator, Mail/newsgroups, IRC chat, Composer (WYSIWYG editor)

I used to use Netscape for years, I loved it for some reason. But then I discovered IE a few years ago and I've used it ever since, much faster I found. Firefox is ok, I just can't seem to get used to it though when I try.

Random blabber over.

the new netscape(essentially a FF clone) is pretty cool. I love it cause you can switch beween the gecko engine and IE's within seconds... aka you can do windows update through Netscape
