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 --
