Is it just me? Or does Firefox get slower every release? And less stable.
I got myself up to the latest, and I cannot install my 4 add-ons (xmarks,
AdBlockPlus, Noscript, Stumble-upon) without it crashing. Seg fault sometimes.
I've got ECC memory, and no reported problems, and it does not help to clear
the profiles (rename
~/.mozilla) and re-emerge.
Seems to me to be getting slower. The crashes shouldn't happen, though.
Are you seeing the crash-reporter window after your crashes? I'm not
sure if the firefox ebuilds include the crash reporter or not. Anyone
know? (I think maybe the firefox-bin package includes it.)
If all else fails, I would download a binary version from mozilla to make
sure that you can submit crash reports. They really do get looked at by
the mozilla devs, and bug reports that reference crash reports get serious
attention quickly.
