Hi list

I had firefox-1.5.0.4 running on my workstation at home and at work. Two
weeks ago firefox crashed the first time. On both (work and home). After
many crashes i installed firefox-devel (firefox - 2.0). But now it is
the same. It just crashes without any reason. I am using Freebsd
6.1-BETA1.
Has anybody a problem like that and/or a solution?
If needed I can send a corefile.

Same here. Nothing changed on the server. No updates not nothing. Still,
Firefox has started to crash randomly on sites it formerly never did!

I'm not willing to investigate in plugins installed or whatever, because
as I said, *nothing* has changed. Only the behaviour of firefox suddenly
became very unstable. Weird, very weird.

Ditto, I have seen the same thing 2 or 3 times in the last couple of weeks.
Running: Firefox/1.5.0.7
Running: 6.2-PRERELEASE FreeBSD 6.2-PRERELEASE #0: Sun Oct 29 16:41:34 EST 2006
I've been updating ports daily for about a week now, and must admit, I haven't seen seen Firefox crash again.

Other:
Also, I noticed that approximately 2 weeks ago (or less, that when saving a file Firefox would do file name completion when saving files using a similar naming convention:
i.e.,
foo1.bar
foo2.bar
foo3.bar
etc...
This was made it easy to just increment a file by 1, and save.
This completion would show in the 'Enter name of file to save to ...'
dialog box as a drop down from the 'Name' field, with file name completion as
mentioned above-- but this useful feature sadly no longer seems to work either.

Sure seems like something has changed (e.g., stability and features).

Thanks,
Rob
