Firefox

[Alone]

has anyone noticed since its last update Firefox has been having lots of problems? or it is just me...

 

[Thornless]

Fine for me.

 

[RedRyder]

I haven't updated. I just ignore the option.

So.... I guess I can't help.

 

[Alone]

what version are you using? at home for me it's 3.6

 

[Springsteen]

Fine for me too.

must be my stupid laptop

 

[Chillaxicator]

Yeah, it'll crash a few times a week on me... piece of shit. I'm thinkin of switching to Google Chrome, I've heard good things. I have an iPhone, so safari is another option for me...

 

[Alone]

Yeah I use Google Chrome for some sites but there are things I don't like about it but yes Google Chrome has its benefits

 

[Chillaxicator]

Are there any noticeable differences? Does it tab like Firefox? that's my big turn on for Firefox is how easy it is to tab.

Technically, the diffrence between Firefox and Google Chrome is that for Firefox when you open a frame, all the tabs you will open in this frame are working on the same process on your computer. As a consequence, when one of your tab bugs, all your frame and tabs bug and you have to kill all the Firefox process. With Google Chrome, when you open a new tab you have a new process on your computer, and when one of your tabs bugs, you can kill only the process associated to the tab, and the other tabs have no problem.

I use Google Chrome now because Firefox was too long to open...

I have also had a lot of crashes recently, firefox keeps blaming the java runtime plugin, but I don't think it is, imo, it is just poor coding, by your truly Mozilla

you guys should get opera... rarely crashes, saves tabs and much more

I recommend using Safari or Opera. Firefox seems to be slipping behind the other browsers. Try the acid test and see:

I find Firefox a resource hog, slow and clunky. Opera is lighter and faster, and Safari definitely renders pages the nicest. I find both more stable than Firefox too.

I have had tonnes, it is either Java or firefox, I am leaning towards the latter

Many browsers save tabs and much more now...
