I'm not trying to scare anyone, those two bugs you pointed are not
directly related to ff. Actually I was not aware of the one with java
applets. At least I can't find it on bugzilla. The flashplayer crash is
really known, but it is not a ff problem itself.
I know ff 2 has some bugs, and I agree that we will need to ship ff3
very soon. I'm just trying to say the same as Tomasz wrote before: New
software brings new bugs, and sometimes old bugs too.
