I have had some experience with FF bugs which seem to get fixed as they 
send out upgrades (in my opinion anyway). My biggest problem is with 
Thunderbird 1.5.0 which right up to 1.5.0.9, the program freezes and 
crashes when I try to save an attachment to a folder on my network via 
Samba. I have a Mandriva Linux box and 2 Win XP boxes on the network
