Thomas was correct when he said that you can't compare a pay OS with a free browser vis-à-vis to continuing support. I find that this article is exagerating a bit suggesting that it's a big problem that FF1.5 suppport is going to stop.
What is troubling here is that so many of you are reporting crashes for FF 2.0.
For my part, I have 2.0 and have never noticed any particular problems with crashes. But there's probably a good reason for this: I made Opera my default browser.
Opera is now at version 9.20, and it's come a LOONG way since 6 or 7 (if those were the last ones you tried). Page rendering is virtually perfect these days in Opera (although this is a bit of a non-issue; all browsers have diffuculty with some pages. This is not the fault of the browser, but of the webpage's author, who never learned what 'interoperability' means.) Opera is fast, secure, outragously customizable, and, since I've been in the 9.x versions, it hasn't crashed on me. At all. Never.
