It can't be said that the Mozilla folks don't know what drama is with bugs.. Over at Jon Galloway's blog, he has a great article chronicling the drama getting Silverlight fixed and working with FireFox version 3. If the blog entry can be believed, you can't blame Microsoft for this one.. Its a netscape plug-in API problem.

Apparently the issues including the one that caused crashes (not a Silverlight specific issue) has also been fixed. FireFox 3 has kind of broken reference counting in a way that makes it easy for any plug-in to (accidentally or maliciously) crash the browser by calling ReleaseObject on a null or destroyed object.

Anyway, I recommend if you want to read an interesting blog entry and get some insight into dealing with issue that came up during development of Firefox 3.
