You do realize IE is the most secure browser out there currently don't you?

Firefox development is on turbo mode apparently to match the rapid releases of chrome versions.

Same here. Aside from speed though there isn't that big of a difference as far as I can tell.

Why do you support Microsoft's IE9 when the company is the epitome of Western capitalism and you present yourself as a somewhat radical Muslim on these boards? o.O

Just the overall design of it. I gave it a few weeks, but didn't like it at all. Chrome does the trick now.

That's been my experience as well. Which, granted, I haven't used it too much. Using whatever the latest version of the Canary build for Chrome is as my main.

Strangely enough, Firefox 4 worked much better for me than Firefox 3.6. Seems to be the other way around for the majority of you.

Ever since I upgraded to Firefox 5, Firefox has been causing my laptop to have CPU spikes that freeze Firefox. I couldn't figure out why, but 6 is still doing it.

I switched to Chrome. I feel like a traitor.

I've been on FF 6 for a while with no complaints.

I tried Chrome, but their version of AdBlock Plus kept shutting itself off when I opened a new tab, which irritated the hell out of me. I keep it installed, but I only use it to fool around with Angry Birds.

Firefox 5 caused me nothing but issues, plus this new fast release trash has caused my ZA plugin/addon whatever it's called to be incompatible, i think they are rushing out their versions full of bugs, that's firefox 4 and 5 i've had lots of issues with and i ended up removing 5 and keeping the hugely patched Firefox 4 installed.

I had freezing issues with FF5, so have just updated to 6 and will see if it continues. If it does I switch to something else. If it doesn't freeze I'll be happy to stick with it. *fingers crossed*

Its basically firefox 4.2. This fast release stuff is BS. Its the reason they are loosing market share. Business don't want to waste the time or reasources to deploy software that will be outdated and abandoned in a couple weeks.

Oh good, maybe now it won't freeze every time I try to open my bookmarks. >__> Don't know why it's been doing that, it didn't used to freeze like that... I still have the same number of bookmarks.

I switched to opera, since firefox 4 had trouble with some flash video (lag problem). I really like it and I can't believe I lived so long without the mouse gesture option.

I find it extremely odd how Firefox gets flak for the fast release recycle but nobody ever faults Chrome for it. :?
