Is Firefox 1.0 Less Stable than Firefox PR1.0?

An anonymous reader wonders: "I had Firefox 1.0PR running smoothly on three different machines and it hardly ever crashed. After upgrading to 1.0, I seem to have at least one annoying crash a day. On one of the machines, using the 'self update' feature caused Firefox to crash in middle of the upgrade and left it in a completely unusable state. Eventually, I had to uninstall it and resort to using IE to download the full installer, again. Is it just me, or are other heavy Firefox users noticing this sort of behavior?"

No bugs found here. But I was sad to see the 'Cookies are delicious delicacies' line disappear from Prefs.

Welcome to Slashdot, now being used as an alternative for official software support sites and usenet newsgroups.

Mine seemed to be working but now it's showing an article about a single anonymous user's broswer problems on the front page of Slashdot. That can't be right. Hopefully Mozilla will have a patch available soon.

you know, part of the reason people post things like that here is becasue of the mature intelligent discussion that takes place on slashdot. If you ever went to a specalized or moderated newsgroup and posted a similar question you would never get help. Instead all you would get is angry 13 yearolds in their mother's basement or wrong answers. It is the fact that a specialized newsgroup full of knowledgable folks, developers and regualr users is no use that people post on slashdot for help.
I expect intelligent and thought provoking replies on this page....
