Haha.  Which is another reason why I switched to Firefox as soon as it was
available in a stable form (and why I run anti-malware software every once

Now if they could only fix it so that if one instance of a browser
crashes, they all do NOT crash.  What a sad architecture!  Ugh!  This has
happened enough times to become severely annoying at this point.
