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, you haven't. Stop trolling.

Complaints aside, it's clear from the post what the problem is. You seem to be running Firefox with the Windows Operating System. In order to fix the problem, simply uninstall Windows, and install Linux or BSD, or, better yet, throw your windows machine out the nearest window and purchase a computer capable of running MacOS X. Then install Firefox and you will find your problems disappear.

I didn't want to reply to myself, so I'll put this out here:

What about your family? If you loved them, then you wouldn't let anyone in your family use IE, you'd force them to use Firefox for their own good. (Or were you waiting for when you see them on Thanksgiving?)

What about your friends? Surely none of them are still using IE, right? Not after you demoed its awesomeness to them and helped them install it, right?

What about your coworkers? (If your company doesn't allow Firefox, then just install it to the "My Documents" folder and you're good to go.) You could ask them if they noticed anything suspicious during lunch or something.

That's 3 groups of people you could've contacted, yet you chose to waste everyone's time as your first course of action. Bravo. BTW, do we get any indication that this story is anything other than Microsoft planted FUD?

Macromedia Flash player won't work

I have a Mac. That means that nothing compiled for
a PC will run, at least not without an emulator.

Besides, Macromedia might be spyware. I can't tell
if I don't have the source.

Try again, please.
