Me too.

I am working daily with a Database which I access via Intranet
and Mozilla.  The data are most sensitive and it occures more
then once, that I open a website in the Internet and Mozilla
crashed immediatly.

Because i am working for the french governement it is a potential
security bug for me.

Unfortunatly it is not possibel to open two instances of mozilla.
( Which may crash seperatly :-/ )

Greetings
Michelle
