I'm using Firefox on 4.10 and 5.2 with KDE and found that it's quite OK on 5.2 but crashes often on 4.10, I think mostly on webpages with flash content. > The CURRENT machine is fine; I'm pretty sure I've never had a > crash in several months of operation.

I can't say that here but I consider a weekly crash or so for a browser nowadays an excellent achievement ;-). > similar to the OP's report: I get relatively frequent but > unpredictable crashes on complex Web pages, with both > Mozilla and Firefox. Can't say anything for Mozilla. > It's annoying, and I'd love to know causes and solutions! Because it's so difficult to reproduce it's also hard to find the cause :-(. I plan to try linux-opera on 4.10. Should do flash and java... (being unable to get java working was what made me switch from Opera to Firefox couple of months ago) Karel.
