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?"

    A professor at the University of Mississippi is giving a
    lecture on the supernatural. To get a feel for his
    audience, he asks: "How many people here believe in
    ghostses?" About 90 students raise their hands.

    "Well, that's a good start. Out of those of you who
    believe in ghostses, do any of you think you've ever seen
    a ghostse?" About 40 students raise their hands.

    "That's really good. Has anyone here ever talked to a
    ghostse?" 15 students raise their hands.

    "That's great. Has anyone here ever touched a ghostse?" 3
    students raise their hands.

    "That's fantastic. But let me ask you one question
    further... Have any of you ever made love to a ghostse?"
    One student way in the back raises his hand.

    The professor is astonished and says, "Son, in all the
    years I've been giving this lecture, no one has ever
    claimed to have slept with a ghostse. You've got to come
    up here and tell us about your experience."

    The redneck student replies with a nod and a grin, and
    begins to make his way up to the podium. The professor
    says, "Well, tell us what it's like to have sex with a
    ghostse."

    The student replies, "Ghostse?!? From ah-way back there ah
    thought yuh said "goatse."

    How's Amnesty International causing deaths?

    By being hated by human rights violators everywhere... including the one who WON'T let them into the country the deaths are happening in. It's similar to how Greenpeace is destroying our envrionment by sinking illegal whaling ships before the whalers can get a their fill of endangered animals and the EFF is destroying scientific progress by opposing microchips in humans because of the possible draconian uses. ~lighting
