After a restart my firefox just loaded to a "firefox update page" instead of the home page I have set.

My bookmarks are gone but all the cookies are still here.

Something's not right. Hmm...

Also while on the topic of browsers: IE's next security patch fucks up flash and quicktime if you don't update the coding on your site with the work arounds.

>>>>

Web surfers may start noticing some unusual behavior from their Internet Explorer browser after installing Microsoft's next round of security patches, expected April 11. That's because the software giant is planning to make changes to the way its browser handles dynamic content like Flash or QuickTime--changes that were made necessary following Microsoft's highly publicized patent dispute with Eolas Technologies.

The ActiveX changes will gum up the way some Web surfers interact with dynamic content by forcing them to click on a pop-up "tool tip" dialog box before being able to interact with things like Flash or QuickTime.

Microsoft, Apple Computer, and Adobe Systems have published work-arounds for the changes, which means that Web sites that have coded these work-arounds will appear as normal to IE users.

But the IE changes will probably take some by surprise, according to Jon Galloway, a Web developer with San Francisco's VelocIT. "A lot of Web sites are not going to update their Flash right away," he said.

The changes will certainly be an annoyance, but they will not prevent users from running Flash or QuickTime files, he said. "It's the kind of thing that's going to upset a marketing department that wants everything to look perfect," Galloway said.

Most of the pain from the IE update will be felt by Web developers who may find themselves scrambling to implement the work-arounds. "Once this rolls out to everybody, suddenly things that used to work automatically will have to be manually done," said Richard Smith, an Internet security consultant based in Boston. "The bottom line is Web sites are going to have a lot of work to do here."

Why would M$ make an update that fucks up literally thousands of websites? That just doesn't make sense.

Had the same problem the past couple of days. Since my Windows update is set to Auto download, M$ must have been inserted some scripts which allows FF to crash. What I did was unstalled those recent patches and did a System Restore. After that, everything returned to normal.
