Stability problems with Firefox 3.0.10?

28 Apr 2009 10:44 am

The latest release of Firefox offered itself for installation today, with this announcement of its new features:

Since then, the Mac version of Firefox has crashed constantly for me, on a MacMini under OS X 10.5.6 (including after a reboot). A local problem here in the Beijing HQ? Maybe a "major stability issue" not entirely nailed down in this latest release? I don't know yet. It's the first serious stability problem I've had in years of using Firefox. Not looking for reports from far and wide about where it's working and not. Just offering this report, as part of the crowdsourcing process, of a possible glitch. And if you haven't installed 3.0.10 yet, what's the rush?
