I email myself my essays/term papers. Why? Because every once in a while Windows shits itself and it's off to find my installation CD. (For some reason, the CD Burning app on Knoppix always eats my CDs.) Once I had to retype an entire essay from an early draft I had printed out.
Now it seems like an OS should get much more attention than a browser, and therefore be much more stable. I'm sure we all have our stories about Windows.

...You should KNOW to back up your files. Whether it's Word, Firefox, Windows, or a virus, something will eventually destroy some of your data unless you're really lucky.

I lost some of those. If you really need it, you'll find it again. Or you'll find a replacement. I managed to do so.

And that's just seriously annoying.

Yes, annoying. Should you have lost your bookmarks? No. But it's annoying, not
OMG! Firefox sent my CC number to Russia!
Now I'm not trying to reconvince you to use FF. I really don't care what you use. It's just that you're attacking it as rabidly as people attack MS.
