I just upgraded from Firefox 3 Beta 4 to Beta 5. It's amazing how unstable Beta 5 is compared to the earlier version. Gmail crashes. Google maps crashes. Almost every other site I visit crashes. And looks like I'm not alone: doing a Google search for "Firefox 3 beta x crash" shows a consistently increasing number of results.
Update (8/Apr/08): As the comments rightly point out, this could simply be because more people use Beta 5. Here's the number of Google hits for "Firefox 3 Beta x" -- and it shows a clear increasing trend.
So, adjusting for this, here's the relative crash frequency:
Beta 5 still stands out.
Maybe Google search results are not a good proxy. Maybe the mention of "crash" doesn't indicate the software itself crashing. But it sure crashes a lot more for me.
