Just curious.
I've noticed with the 1.0.3 release (and almost every recent dot
release) Firefox becomes unstable until you preserve your bookmarks
and blow away the .mozilla/firefox directory.
Has anyone heard whether the mozilla developers ever intend to fix
this behavior?

I know that this was frequently a problem with particular extensions - are you running any? The beauty of extensions is that they provide functionality without the maintainer having to write/review everything. The drawback is that you get little/no QA and QA will more frequently catch problems with upgrades that might not get caught by the old "release and pray" system that some extension developers seem to follow.
