Not so fast... :)

Firefox crashes for me on sarge several times a month.  Debian bug
tracking system shows some 46 open bug reports with the word stem
"crash" in the bug subject line.

Just today, for example, firefox crashed on me after testing some
plug-in capabilities at one of these sites:
Plugger Testing Grounds:
http://fredrik.hubbe.net/plugger/test.html
http://www.linspire.com/file_types/filetypes.php

I have no extensions and only mplayer plugin installed.  I'm using
firefox 1.0.7-0bpo1 from backports.org, but the problem has been around
for ever with the regular firefox debian packages from sarge.

Frustrating...  and can't file a useful bug report with unreproducible
results.  There is already this:

Firefox crashes randomly

Hey, I'm happy for you that you don't have this irritation.

Regards,
Ralph
