Re: [orca-list] Change on others internet brausers

[John G Heim <jheim math wisc edu>]

I think deleting the .mozilla folder works only temporarily because when 
you do that, you force Firefox to forget all the tabs you had open 
before the crash. By closing all tabs, you simply decrease the 
probability of running into the bug that causes the crashes. In other 
words, i don't think my advice actually worked. I got about 36 hours of 
fairly few crashes out of it. But it's as bad as ever now. I just keep 
clicking the button to restart Firefox and then tell it to not reload 
the previous session. Then I go into history and go back to whatever I 
was doing before the latest crash. It is a lot of hassle, of course, but 
so is changing browsers. I figure Ubuntu will post a fix fairly soon.

By the way, I hope everybody who has seen this problem is clicking the 
button to report the problem. I would say that by now I've sent 100 
crash reports. But Ubuntu probably gets a gazillion of them a day. They 
would need to see a significant uptick for it to get noticed.
