On the other hand, about two weeks ago I grabbed the 3.1b3 srpm from koji and rebuilt on F10 (also had to grab and build updated xulrunner, pango, and sqlite). It's been working just fine for me on my x86_64 F10, using the adobe flash plugin, many extensions (adblock plus, download statusbar, greasemonkey, header spy, noscript, session manager, tab mix plus, and (fo)xmarks.) Oh, and I routinely have 80+ tabs open.
I'm also running a rawhide kernel, FWIW. And evil nvidia binary driver.
Maybe your issues are related to something else on rawhide, and not the firefox beta?

I'm not having any problems with firefox.
(And I'm looking forward to your virtualization tutorial.)

No problems here either. Seems rock solid to me!

I am running rawhide on a dell d620 laptop. Firefox exits when starting a video in youtube. Running from the command line I get three messages like:
ALSA lib pcm pulse.c.626:(pulse prepare) PulseAudio: Unable to create stream: Too large
followed by many mmap failure errors followed by firefox: pulse.c:200 new: Assertion "p->context' failed

Unless anyone has a better idea, I would recommend filing a bug against either firefox or pulseaudio with all the details and specific version numbers.

I have been using Firefox 3.1b2 and later 3.1b3 on multiple F10 x86_64 machines for the last few months. It is remarkably stable, though not perfect. I have seen the random crash here or there. The most reproducible one is going to ted.com. Watch a video, go back or forward. Sometimes it will crash. I suspect it is more flash than Firefox. The version of flash is 10.0.22.87, and it is 64bit.

It seems it is a known flash issue. It even causes issues with Opera.

well, that *is* the 64-bit flashplayer that i have installed, so maybe we've tracked down the cause.

I've found in the past that flash has been notorious for lack of stability on firefox so I never use it now. I use swfdec which covers most stuff but can be somewhat of a cpu hog. That said beta 3 hasn't been quite as stable as beta 2 for me but it is still usable.
