Re: [opensuse] firefox works stable, finally

I got so frustrated that I for one changed to opera and secondly deleted
all the suse firefox stuff and installed the new 2.0.0.3 release
directly from mozilla.com.

What can I say, now after a full day of surfing the the web with
mozillas firefox and another full night of downloading a few GB of
downloads (the latter was just for testing, normally I do not use
firefox for such things), I am still using the very same incarnation of
firefox that I started yesterday!

A definitive improvement and much more related to the linux reputation
of being rock solidly stable. ;-))

Recommended to anyone having similar problems with firefox.

What I would recommend is to try a clean profile and a clean RPM
installation. I'm pretty sure that this also works. I absolutely doubt
that the unstable behaviour was caused by the SUSE package. There are
only a few differences to the upstream Firefox (since otherwise it
wouldn't be allowed at all to call the package Firefox).
