Would it be possible to ship Firefox with the "Crash Recovery"
extension? Even better if it's fixed so that tabs are restored in the
separate windows they where opened in from the beginning.

I'm not sure if it's Dapper or me, but Firefox is really unstable ATM.

The other feature of Epiphany I miss in Firefox is the "Open with..."
dialog. It should be the same application chooser as with nautilus not
the file chooser as it is with Firefox.


If those two issues are fixed I belive all other arguments is just about
taste.
