(Sorry for the dupe, sfink, since the first version only went to you) This kind of sentiment concerns me a bit. Oftentimes, people will report odd or undesirable behaviour from Firefox and we have to do painstaking (and sometimes lossy) diagnosis over Bugzilla. When it's somebody within the organization, I really don't think there's an excuse for us not finding some kind of explanation for what's going in a situation like this - like, we have (sorta[1]) access to the machine. I feel like that should be a golden opportunity. If we can't keep people in the org satisfied with the performance and stability of Firefox, then I think that's a problem. sfink - it's not clear to me yet what exact issues you've been experiencing for the past 2-3 months, but I can try to help you dig into it, bit by bit - I will also happily try to extract useful information from any Profiles you're able to gather (the fact that you sometimes have difficulty gathering them is concerning). Feel free to reach out to me on IRC. [1]: Since I believe sfink is remote, but in the Bay Area.
