If you've noticed your Firefox installation seems a bit more stable
since you upgraded to Firefox 3.6, you're not alone. According to
statistics collected by Mozilla, Firefox 3.6 is 30 percent more stable
than its predecessor, and Firefox crashes are down 40 percent across

BB, Can Chrome say this?

I can honestly say that Fx hasn't crashed once since I've started using
it. I can't even remember it crashing when it was still called Phoenix
or Firebird...

Be careful of 3.6.3 though. It might work well for everyone else, but it was buggy to my plugins.
Switched back... no problems.

Be careful of being careful of 3.6.3 though. <grin> Seriously, *.3 is
a security update. If you can live w/o the plugin for a while, it might
be better to disable it and notify the developer.

Quasi-on-topic; there's an article in Ars discussing a whitepaper
published by MS about extensions and IE8. Makes for interesting
reading. For example, from the whitepaper:
