[Bug 1575781] Re: Firefox 46 crashes on Ubuntu 12.04 (precise) with Oxygen-GTK3

[Claude Krantz]

As the OP I like to thank the maintainers for fixing that bug in oxygen-
gtk3 so quickly. Many thanks for your work.

I would like to add that I now switched to Firefox ESR (from upstream)
in order to keep a pure GTK2 system until EOL of precise. Looks like a
viable alternative for me after all ...

Nonetheless, after some reading, I second the general consensus (see eg.
http://www.chriscoulson.me.uk/blog/?p=111) that Ubuntu LTS should ship
the latest "stable" release of Firefox in contrast to the ESR branch.
For most users, a Firefox evolving in sync with upstream is probably
more important than absolute long-time stability of the software. This
post is here essentially to point other precise users to the possibility
of using Firefox ESR as an option to stick to GTK2 if they like to.

In that sense: Keep up the good work.

Claude
