You're settling for good when there's awesome.  Upgrade to Firefox 3.5!

Firefox 2.0.0.14 security update available

April 16, 2008 - 10:45 pm

As announced last week, Mozilla has released a quick Firefox update to fix a critical security vulnerability related to crashes during JavaScript garbage collection that, in theory, could be exploited.

To update, select Check for Updates… in the Help menu, otherwise you will be prompted to update in the next 48 hours.

I dunno what kind of “stability” issue was fixed. Ever since I updated to 2.0.0.14 FF crashes at least 2-3 times a day. I’ve never experienced crashes before. Hope I won’t have to migrate to IE. That would be an awkward experience.

WinXP Pro SP2
32bit

At crashes I get the error message, that the crash related dump file is available as “90bc_appcompat.txt”, however, searching does not reveal the existence of any such file.

Mozilla auto updated me and now it’s dead.
Uninstalled, rebooted and reinstalled a fresh download and it’s still dead.
Windows XP Pro, No error messages, no window, just a minimized button on the toolbar.
Back to IE for now.

A conflict somewhere? A dodgy extension? 2.0.0.14 has been entirely stable on my XP SP2 machine since day one. Not a single crash – and I use Firefox intensively, with currently 20 extensions enabled.

Maybe. The only fix for me was to switch to the beta. Oddly after installing FF3beta5, the 2.0.0.14 version started working. Weird. Could be the beta killed some extensions?
