This is very good news indeed for those who depend on Firefox, earlier you had to do it via tedious method of adding ppas or using other hacks.

To my understanding Firefox 3.6.4 has the same function as does Chrome whereas if one tab crashes the other tab(s) will still remain open. In other words a crash will not take down the whole browser.

Here is a link to some of the 3.6.4 release candidates...

Later...

This is great. In fact, I wonder why they didn't do this sooner.

Would be even better if they could extend this policy towards other frequently-used packages as well, say, OpenOffice and Empathy.
