Mozilla & Gecko clones "On December 8, 2005, we published a story that wondered: Firefox 1.5: Not Ready For Prime Time? In response, some 450 (and climbing) InternetWeek, InformationWeek, TechWeb Pipelines, and Scot's Newsletter readers have sent details about their experiences with Firefox 1.5. A picture is emerging about Firefox 1.5 in the real world - on a small percentage of Windows, Mac, and Linux computers - that is less than positive."

I Have Firefox Problems

I am running Ubuntu 5.10, and I recently installed the generic Linux 686 version of Firefox 1.5, because I was having problems with the 1.07 version that shipped with Ubuntu. Well, I'm still having problems. I will go to certain websites, like QRZ.com (to look up an Amateur Radio callsign), and I get a core dump and Firefox vanishes. This happens over and over, every day. I don't know if the stability problem is related to Firefox, or if there's a problem with the Ubuntu-compiled shared libs. Either way, I'm about --| |-- close to switching over to something else, anything else, to get some stability!

Just visted QRZ.com and was able to use the site OK. I am using Firefox 1.0.7 on Ubuntu Breezy 5.10.
