I have it installed on both a Linux machine (SuSE 8.2, FF 1.0.4) where it
has never crashed (remember it's a beta!) and on Windows 98 (FF 1.0.3)
where it can crash if you bang hard on it. It is rarely critical when an
FTP client crashes, unlike for example, text editors and a multi-tab
browsers. You can always pick things up where you were previously.
FireFTP is not marvellous on its own, but it's free, inter-operable and I
can open it in a new tab with just 2 keystrokes.
