"The latest update is the tenth from Mozilla in little more than a year since the release of Firefox 2.0 in October 2006."

Security is all well and good, but let's hope it addressed the complete instability of the last few updates.

Ummm, guess not. Try again, Mozilla, before IE starts looking good.

What crash? What "complete instability"? It's been running fine here since version 1.5-odd through to the current versions - and the 2.0.0.10 version is every bit as stable.
Oh wait, you're using Windows...

Maybe microsoft used one of their many patches to implant code that causes firefox to crash so that every windows user will go back to using IE.

Firefox may need more fixing than it did because it got more usable but it is still more secure than IE.
Whoops wait a minute here comes 3.0.

I must admit, Im getting constant crashes using Firefox on my MacBook?!

2.0.0.10, perfectly stable on XP and Windows 2000. No problems with my various plugins of choice or anything.
If it crashes, submit a bug report and it could be fixed by the next version.
Try *that* with IE.

2.0.0.10 crshes constantly.
Here I thought it was just the fact I'm using it on a Jaguar/beige G3 combo that might be soon retired.
