I've been browsing somewhat intensely for the past hour. Java, flash, and Realplayer
plugins are installed and work correctly. I've also added an extension that purports
to speed up Firefox by pre-caching links on a page. It works very well and the
browsing experience is definitely improved. So far no crashes.

In 1.0.7 I was getting a crash once every couple days or so. I.e., I had one session
open for a couple days and it would crash in the same way... I would click on a page
link expecting it to open in a new tab. Instead, it would open in a menuless window.
If I closed that window the entire application would exit without prompting. It did
not bring up the crash dialog either. This has so far not happened, but it's been a
couple hours of uptime.
