Currently, firefox crashes on me every 4 or 5 days under heavy usage (generally 4+ windows showing a rotating set of 50+ tabs, which I admit is not typical of 'normal' usage). Generally, all the firefox windows disappear, and then firefox-bin pegs the cpu for hours until I kill -9 the process (which might be a (seperate) bug). I have experimented with clean profiles, removing the flash plugin, to no avail.

I've been running a cvs build of minefield/3.0a9pre for just under two weeks, and haven't had a single crash yet, and xrestop is showing mem usages that are 20-30 times smaller (16-20mb instead of half a gig of pxm mem).

This is why I'd classify it as a stability fix: it causes crashes. That said, I know it's not an issue for most people under normal use (although I'm not the only person who browses like this)
