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?"

    I had Windows 2000 running smoothly on three different machines and it hardly ever crashed. After upgrading to Windows XP, I seem to have at least one annoying crash a day. Is it just me, or are other heavy Windows users noticing this sort of behavior?

    I think all computers should have at least two nipples, if not more.
