I know that there are always strategies to prevent data loss. And of
course I take backups every day. But these research results didn't
find its way to the backup because I found them between two backups.
And yes, I could have taken another backup before upgrading ... But
I didn't for different reasons (most important: lack of time) and I
really did not expect that a FF session could be lost by an upgrade.
Maybe that's just the last straw. I had so many hardware issues with
Ubuntu in the last year that took me so many time (I filed
respective bug reports). I'm a friend and supporter of FOSS and even
FF (I paid for an ad of FF 1 in a big german news paper)! But I
don't have the time anymore to handle all the time consuming issues.
After upgrading to Gutsy I listed 1½ ISO A4 paper with problems
introduced by Gutsy. And now after upgrading to Hardy a new list is
growing again ...

Don't take my gripe amiss.
