Just downloaded a new update for TextMate. I really wanted to get on with some Ruby on Rails work... only the textmate guys had a little Halloween surprise for me.
I've had some real problems with Firefox on both MacOS10.4 and Windows XP. The mac version just keeps locking up and I get a beach ball of death. The windows version just disappears randomly. I've had been running the beta for a few months and dutifully uploading all the crash dumps hoping this would help the developers. When Firefox finally went gold I upgraded assuming I would get some stability back. I didn't. After a week or so I was on the edge of giving up. I decided to see if removing an extension would help. I have stumbleupon and Google Toolbar installed, both of which are up to date.
Well to cut a long story short I removed the Google toolbar and I haven't had a crash on either platform for a few days now. Hope that helps.
Moral of the story: Software is complex so cut it to the bone before putting your fist through your monitor
