wether im using ubuntu or windows, something always seems to mess up. wether it chooses to not load anymore or it erases my bookmarks. yes im using ff3. and yes ive restarted many times

Ive always used Opera as a second browser. and Ive been using it all day as my main one. Not only is it faster, but 9.5 looks better . Thats not saying much since Firefox is one fugly browser anyway. and from what im told it uses less memory. Opera is pretty customizable right from the get go, I didnt know that before.

Obviously if it came down to FF vs IE or Safari I would say use Firefox. But Im just sick of the errors, even if its a pretty secure browser in comparison to Microsoft and Apple's "attempt"

I never used to have problems with the Fox. But recently it has started crashing at least once every day. I use Ubuntu Studio 8.04. It may just be my slow old computer but I'm still sticking with it. :)

I can't remember the last time my Firefox has ever crashed on me but then again I'm still using the 2.whatever version and not the newest 3.0 "upgrade".

i have had no problems with FF3, and i use it a lot. Unless you count the skype extension messing up google maps, but that was my own doing.

both firefox 2 and 3 crashed on me. 2 not that much, 3 is just kinda getting frustrating. But you can reload it and restore your session, so its not really THAT much of a hassle. I had 2 on a different comp so I dont think my comp is messing something up.

I do like firefox though, if it stopped crashing I'd probably use it instead of IE

I tried it for a day when I got fed up with the skin IE forces you to use (it was slow and buggy for most sites, FF that is), but then I discovered Avant, best looking and most functional browser out there.

Irony, my firefox got a memory leak when I entered this thread. I had to stop a script and restart the browser >.>

I'll still stick with it, my computer has been acting slow in general so before I've fixed that there's no point in changing web browsers.

I have never had any problems with firefox until I got version 3. The only issue I have is sometimes pages wont load until I hit the refresh button. Doesn't happen that often. I still like Firefox more than IE.

The only problems I've had with the Fox were my doing. (One time I forgot to plugin my wireless adapter, so I couldn't access the Internet. :lol:)

I like firefox, if only for the skins.
