To those of you that use Firefox and have done the newest update, have you had more problems than usual with flash crashing?

I watch TV online since the entire DTV mess and have never had cable or satellite so It'* become a nuisance lately.

Ive been using Firefox for media viewing and chrome for browsing, since chrome never seemed to like flash or divx. Might just my setup.

I have not noticed any problems, but I just updated a few days ago.

I had noticed that with the firefox update, there also was a flash update soon after, for the very reason of stability issues. Did you get both updates?

I did notice Java works much better with the new version.

I have not noticed any issues. Fire Fox is the platform and any crashes from things like Flash is a plug-in issue. Upgrade Flash or completely remove it and reinstall it.

The last firefox update was specifically for Flash and silverlite, they run in external processes and will not competely shut down firefox in the event of a crash.

"Results from our beta testing show Firefox 3.6.4 will significantly reduce the number of Firefox crashes experienced by users who are watching online videos or playing games," Mozilla'* Mike Beltzner wrote in the official Mozilla blog. "When a plugin crashes or freezes while using Firefox, users can enjoy uninterrupted browsing by simply refreshing the page."

I don't think it'* a cut and dry plug-in issue since I have reinstalled flash, I may set the timeout value higher for now, or see how chrome has matured.

I had the problem, as Kevin mentioned; I removed and reinstalled the new version.

as of this morning I had an auto update for 3.6.6.

I'll see what happens.

Do you have XP as your OS?

fortunately not, vista on this machine.

But the 3.6.6 update seemed to fix everything.
