[COLUG] FireFox Misbehaving??

[Travis Sidelinger]

I'm not a good test case because I use a good number of plugings, but yes,
things seem less stable in the last few months.

OpenSuse almost never updates their Firefox rpm, so I run a manual installed
version.

I keep having an issue where my extensions get mucked up.  All of them stop
working.  I have to delete the extension files by hand and re-install them all.

Or, Firefox will run slow after a few days and I have to restart it.

List of extensions:
  * Web developer
  * Passwd Hasher
  * Firebug
  * ShowIP
  * Noscript
  * DownloadThemAll
  * User Agent Switcher
