Is Firefox 1.0 Less Stable than Firefox PR1.0?

Posted by Cliff on from the software-regression dept.

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 just made the jump to Firefox a couple weeks ago. Is it only me or does the text on Slashdot bleed over into the left side on the front page?

    It's your pirated version of Half-Life 2 that's causing it. "My friend" had the same problem. Uninstall that and it'll run just fine.
