Public bug reported: Binary package hint: firefox-3.0
Actually several of those existing bug reports are probably the same, but at this point I don't care enough about Firefox to worry about it. I'm only writing this because the new bugs are just SO fucked up and they AGAIN clearly show the need for some competent regression testing over there. My real attitude is that I'm just waiting for a better alternative--but maybe I'll be forced back to Microsoft's garbage. #1 problem: Now Firefox crashes and closes all of its windows at random intervals. The restore when restarted usually works pretty well. #2 problem: Tabs visible even when there is only one tab. Annoying waste of screen space--but it used to be an actual advantage for the Ubuntu/Linux version of Firefox over Windows. #3 problem: Probably the broken webpages, but there are so many problems now that I can't really say. Suggested REAL solution. A better economic model that insures adequate regression testing. Whatever you have now, it is NOT working well. I don't really care what you do anymore, but here is one suggestion: http://eco-epistemology.blogspot.com/2009/11/economics-of-small-donors- reverse.html At this point Ubuntu is so bad that I am only using it on inertia (and on the two main machines I'm basically forced to use the old less flaky versions, though I am running the newest version on three other machines for experimental purposes--that continually fail). I hope some viable alternative will appear, but I have no more enthusiasm for Ubuntu. I knew quite a number of Ubuntu enthusiasts, but as far as I know, the best case is that some of them are still trying to defend it.
