Firefreeze

Note: This entry has been restored from old archives.

My recent experiences with Firefox 2.0 are less than ideal, I’m not using the latest release I’m using the version in Ubuntu’s Edgy. I’ve been checking apt for updates since upgrading and have been disappointed so far (I’d really prefer not to have to go outside the distro, going down that path one may as well roll-their-own).

My Firefox 2.0 keeps freezing, maybe it is one of my plugins doing the evil? I have no way of knowing… this is most upsetting. I got used to a Firefox that didn’t crash several times a day (unless you used a Java plugin in which case you’re on your own against some bodgey Java developer) sure it used huge wads of memory and strange amounts of CPU but I can live with that if it doesn’t bloody crash.
