I've just moved my main
computer from Mepis to Linux Mint 10 and I'm finding firefox
(3.6.13) in that decidedly flakey. Including complete lock-ups
of the system where the reset button seems to be the only way
out. I've ditched a thing called firefox-branding which seems to
have improved the situation but I'm not out of the woods yet.

Thats the same version as mine - its failing badly on two machines
so I think maybe they forgot to test it!
