FireFox
 
Anyone else experience a lot of crashes using FireFox? I'm seriously considering moving to Chrome. Had Chrome loaded for a while just was use to using FF but know it is more of a pain, always crashing....:confused:

if you are using vista there are a ton of bugs still. xp and 7 dnt have to many issue, however, chrome or safari are far superior now imho.

ff......
 
still runnin xp here... :wall:- slow - seems like-
but no crashin of FF to speak of

i was watching HULU yesterday,,,, right
that new show Nikita ..... i wanted to see it
and even though i have FIOS
that flick was stopping and hesitating often

WTF ? so i go to see what else was running with "whats running"
and terminated all other unnecessary programs ect.

and it made no difference. :doh:

from what i've read tho, Microsoft is about to surpass firefox
and leave them standing still - fairly soon - > with windows 9
on the horizon.... as far as speed is concerned

I'm running FF under Linux,Vista and Win7.No issues.Outperforms IE8 on the Windows machines.Not a big fan of Chrome as I hate its layout and it has caused both Vista and 7 to crash.

Give the latest FF version 3.6.10 a try if you haven't already.

I was up to 3.6.10 and same issues: REMOVED! I've been using FF for over 2 years but this is not necessarily a loyalty game. Chrome gets 1st shot then IE8, both installed and running.

I agree.Upgrades under any OS are problematic at best and downright disastrous at worst.Backup user profiles/directories on a seperate partition and do a clean install is what I do.Unfortunately a clean install of Windows runs big $.

I upgraded 6 months ago to Win7 (clean install with hard drive formatting), only the last 6-8 weeks has FF been acting up. I regularly clean/scan the computer for junk!
