I was surprised and annoyed when I found that the reasonably reliable 1.5.x version had been replaced by 2.0, partly because I expected it to be less reliable and partly because some of the extensions I used no longer worked and partly because the user interface had some changes I didn't like. However, it has been my experience in the 6+ weeks I've been using it that 2.0 is better in every way than 1.5 and it is certainly more stable and works better with the flash plugin (something I hate but just have to use). I know that's not going to fix your problem, but I'd be interested to see if you could get to a working setup with 2.0 by running it with a limited set of extensions. Initially, I was cross about some issues with my once-favourite extension (session-manager or some similar name), but now that I've used the builtin session recovery capability, I no longer need that extension. The only extensions I have in my 2.0 setup now are Adblock Plus, NoScript and Smart Middle Click and it has been exemplary in its behaviour -- i.e., it has crashed twice in 6 weeks and it is running 24 hours a day with at least 5 windows and 50 or more tabs open at all times. And it recovered all the open tabs fine after the two crashes. Cheers, Greg
