One week later, Firefox updates again
Mozilla has updated Firefox again, just one week after its last update. Available for Windows, Mac, and Linux, Firefox 3.0.10 fixes a stability problem that also behaved like a security breach. A critical regression error unintentionally introduced in v3.0.9 caused some users to suffer frequent crashes when using the HTML Validator add-on, subsequently linked to potentially compromised browser security.
Mozilla also introduced Firefox 3.5 beta 4 last night, said to be the last beta version before the major features it introduces reach the release candidate phase of testing.

why exactly is updating a bad thing??
Firefox has been quick to remedy their security issues.
I think it says alot when a browser tells you to NOT USE THEIR OWN BROWSER due to security flaws (IE earlier).
Installed FF 3.5 beta4, no problem or crashes, considering it's still in beta, is very GOOD
I have been using Firefox this so far it's crashed more times than i ever experience with IE.
I'll give it toward the end of the year to show me something.
Unless you're talking about Firefox needing to restart itself after an update - that's normal with many programs though.

- The high rate of updates (April-May 2009) indicates to me hurried work, possibly by not-so-hot programmers. Fix-a-fix is an endless game when sloppy.
