I didn't see it expressly stated in the enhancements for this latest release, but so far, I've gone more than 2 hours with Firefox open and it has yet to crash on me. Much better then the every 15 to 20 minutes I was experiencing with the earlier JFW version. I'm still getting that weird "Application Mode On" thing when I go to my Google Reader page and still have to toggle the virtual cursor to break out of it and refreshing the page is still sluggish, but my system doesn't feel as over all slow and bogged down as it did with the April release of Jaws. Still not as snappy as JFW 11, but a noticeable improvement over the earlier JFW 12. Now, excuse me while I knock on some wood.
