I have (at least twice) already used the supposedly automatic system to
collect and submit the information that is supposed to diagnose these
new Firefox problems. In the past, before I lost hope for Ubuntu, I also
volunteered to undertake additional diagnostic measures or to run
additional tests (within reason). I have seen possibly related problems
in Firefox running on some of my other machines--even including one of
the Windows boxen--but this particular machine is the only combination
that is so utterly problematic.

At this point I'm actually getting close to retirement. Maybe I'll even
do some volunteer programming when I have the time, but at several
periods in my career I was a professional programmer at various levels,
so I know how difficult it is to write good code. Mostly at database
levels, but sometimes as low as assembly. Unfortunately, I was only a
second-string programmer--but that means I appreciate the value of
first-string programmers and I know that they are worth paying for. My
company even provides some programmers to support open source projects--
but the truth is that we are going to tend to focus our precious first-
string programmers on our most important projects...

A browser that closes randomly is not very useful for serious work.
