[SLL] Laughing down Firefox today at my work...

I tend to close down at the end of day for most of my heavy use also,
but obviously there is a large user population out there that finds it
very convenient to leave things up for days, or at least finds it
convenient that when things are left up for days things don't fall apart
quickly.  Given that, and the allegation that XP falls apart much less
often under that kind of use, improvements in firefox to achieve at
least that kind of visible stability so that in users' eyes it matches
this alleged raised bar would be a major selling point (IMNSHO) not only
for Firefox, but also for Linux and OpenSource in general.  Firefox
really greatly represents all that is underneath and around it.  Not
only that, but unfortunately it is the only User Agent supported by some
products at this time, because of the cost of QA and maintenance for
private companies in covering things like Opera, Konquerer, Epiphany,
IceWeasel, etc.
