Chrome hasn't crashed on me yet - nor the Iron and Comodo types
Firefox has many times - and 3.6 has a few times in the brief time its
been on
I don't know what Firefox changed for 3.5 but Firefox vanishingly rare
crashes became several times a day crashes. Now it's every other day
So it has improved. And now just way behind the others in reliability
instead of light years.

Just came back to say Firefox 3.6 just crashed again.
Still waiting for the FIRST Chrome crash.
Plug-ins are no doubt the cause. But even so.

Oh...and forgot to metion the frequent "not responding" for about 5-30
seconds which became frequent (certainly on staring Firefox up, anyway)
which does eventually go away - thats just happened too.

3.5 is very stable from my experience. Did you start a new profile when
upgrading from 2.x to 3.x?
