For me it was crashing just trying to load a page. I'd go to my Facebook
home page, click to open a tab in the background (like my requests, or a
profile page), and then it would just randomly crash. It was crashing on
about every second page I tried to look at.

It seems that in the mad rush to get 10.50 ready for the Windows 7 browser
choice menu they neglected a lot of stability testing. Hopefully it becomes
more stable before people start trying it out, otherwise it could get some
flack.

Or maybe it's just my setup. Windows 7 64 bit, currently running 10.10.
Maybe it pulled in some settings from the current install, even though I put
it in its own directory. I was really looking forward to the improved
javascript as I play a few games on there that rely heavily on javascript.
