I'm using the latest Firefox. I know that it's the latest Firefox, because it
crashes once in two days on average. When I restart it (it does restore the
session), it opens two new tabs:
* google.com (the home page)
* "You've updated to the latest version of Firefox"
As long as I don't forget to close the new tabs, which accumulate with the
crashes, it's not entirely unusable, but pretty damn hateful. I wonder if it's
just their code or the interactions with the stone age Linux this workstation runs.
I heard Microsoft wants to patent "a method for delivering updates" or
something, I don't remember the exact name they used for the "technology" of
silently and continuously fucking up the OS by downloading patches from the web.
This is one excellent initiative. Maybe it will render the "You've been fucked
by the latest version of Firefox" thing illegal.
