Tried 29.0.1 on recent svn x86_64 (Quedlinburg), looked at several flats. Tried 29.0.1 on i686 LFS-7.4 (Rostock), and on i686 recent svn (Bad Doberan). No crashes. One of the Bad Doberan offerings had a video, but that needs flash which I don't have. For Frankfurt I imagine there are far more flats listed, and therefore more scope for oddities in the pages. I do remember that firefox has crashed at least twice in recent months when looking at sourceforge download pages. But not repeatedly, each time my second attempt was fine [ i.e. these were the project page, or the page listing all the available files for the project, not any particular mirror ]. So, I cannot confirm the problem. ĸen -- Nanny Ogg usually went to bed early. After all, she was an old lady.
