BTW, regarding the problem with Firefox, a cause of crashes of Firefox for me is running out of memory. So there may be very little Debian can do about that other than hope that Firefox gets a bit more memory-efficient, which often depends more on web sites than on Firefox itself (after all, nowadays web browsers are just VMs running Javascript applications downloaded from hundreds of servers around the world).
