That's really too bad - because in my experience, the mozilla builds are
more stable than the rebuilds of F8 src.rpm's that I'm using. Well -
2.0.0.12 hasn't crashed on me yet, but I've only been running it a few
days (2.0.0.10 rpm install would often crash when opening a dialog box)
As an aside: I've been really annoyed by browser instability problems,
since my CentOS desktops are installed in public libraries which also
somewhat serve as publicly accessible internet cafés. Tried any version
of Firefox (1.5.x, 2.0.x, 3.0beta), to no avail.
I solved the problem by using the Seamonkey browser, complete with
Flash, MPlayer and Java plugins: same rendering engine, lighter on
resources, much more stable. I started from an FC8 specfile, tweaked
some defaults, then built it with the --disable-mailnews and the
--disable-composer options, so I got only the browser instead of the
whole Internet suite. As for the desktop environment (no troll intended,
please), I simply switched from GNOME to XFCE, which has basically the
same functionalities, without bloat nor weird dependencies. One very
nice possibility is the XFCE Kiosk mode, which simply prevents users
from defacing the default configuration.
