Noted, and thought that the ROFL above was enough. Though, the numbers seem to prove that the "never" is just a bit of an exaggeration - brings Mark Twain to mind.
IOW, the numbers are seemingly stacked about 2.5:1 in favor of IE's frequency of crashing, but then the market share of each browser is more like 5:1, so it should be at least so, right?
Not necessarily. First, most of the people who had Firefox crash actually know how to write on the Web, and know the name of their browser ;). That by itself makes it somewhat overreported, and IE massively underreported ("my computer/windows/browser crashed, whom do I call?" doesn't translate into a page automatically, does it?).
