Does anyone else feel that Firefox 1.0 is a *lot* slower than earlier
versions? Here, it also crashes a lot - something it never did before.

I ran firefox 1.0 on FC2 and now on FC3.  It has never crashed
for me and seems to work quickly except when first loading.

I use Xorg, Macromedia and tabs, which I didn't before. Perhaps it's a
deadly combination. Firefox crashes about once every 1-2 hours of 
surfing.

No, I don't see that.

It's very stable here.

I found 1.0PR unstable but versions before and since have been fine.

	It might be the case that you have some old plugins that cause the
problem. That happened to me when upgrading to 0.9: Firefox would crash
quite often, and it was all due to an old version of mozplugger that I had
compiled against and old version of the Gecko SDK.

.... if you change ONE thing, and things go amiss,
then you can most likely point to THAT one thing.

if you change TWO or more things, and things go
amiss, you've just created a challenge to try
and track down the issue!

A key part of the philosophy of UNIX/Linux is that, as far as possible, 
programs cannot interfere with one another. Don't you think that the 
usual way that plugins are implemented--as shared libraries loaded into 
the parent application process context--violates this philosophy? 
Plugins should run as separate processes communicating via appropriate 
IPC mechanisms. That way, they're kept separate via the usual 
memory-protection mechanisms, and it's much harder for rogue plugins to 
crash the parent application.

What version of Xorg? 
When I enabled the Composite extension in Xorg-6.8.1 Firefox would crash a
lot. (note I just enabled it in the Xorg.conf file, I din't use the
composite extension - as in I didn't start xcompmgr).
