I wonder how similar FF is in Linux vs Windows. I don't
remember it actually crashing in many years. Maybe decades.
There was one problem many years ago where FF windows
would multiply out of control. That's the last problem I recall.
Though I'm also using NoScript and a HOSTS file, so probably
not putting much pressure on FF.
The one big problem I see
is that FF simply can't handle complex interactive pages of a
certain type. For example, my doctor and dentist subcontract
out to companies where the page is fine in Chromium but halfway
there in FF, with lots of curly braces. My webhost control panel
is similar. I now have to keep Chromium on hand for those sites,
and it seems to be getting worse.
With FF market share down to low single digits, I'm guessing
that commercial webmasters are not testing in FF at all, and
that the scripting engines between the browsers are diverging.
