It pains me to say this, but..

Firefox 3 on Ubuntu 8.10 is a pile of poo and crashes far, far too often. Firefox 3 on Windows or Ubuntu 8.04 doesn't do this:

The program 'firefox' received an X Window System error.
This probably reflects a bug in the program.
The error was 'BadIDChoice (invalid resource ID chosen for this connection)'.
(Details: serial 31681594 error_code 14 request_code 155 minor_code 4)

Program exited with code 01.


or

Program received signal SIGPIPE, Broken pipe.
[Switching to Thread 0x41ec1950 (LWP 20714)]

or .. far too many examples to mention - I have given up recording them all.

It does not help that Flash is a pile of buggy poo, but 99% of Flash is blocked here (ads, mostly). Even so, a single run shows

Ooh, clicking on a tab has just crashed Epiphany.

I did previously discover the only ways to get it to remember the session: either make it crash or close down the entire Gnome session without closing the browser first! Stupid, stupid, stupid.
