  is it just me or has firefox been making a steady decline? the last few updates have slowed down browsing and it crashes at least once a day on my Macbook Pro...

  anyone else experiencing this?

  I can never get really into it, I have it. but safari is my default browser.
  The dev tools are nice, so when working I use it, but that is not enough..

  i agree with your effour. i'm amazed how often it crashes while i'm doing seemingly innocuous things. safari seems to be a little more stable than FF.

  have had more problems with IE. None to speak of with FF despite some memory and performance issues with the Flash plug-in

  • takes a long time to load everything on a mac– Meeklo

  Actually Safari has been giving me this unable to load script error a lot lately. Really slows my computer down

  • its probably an issue in your machine, clear preferences and repair permissions. see if that helps– Meeklo1/2

    cool i'll check it out– Glitterati_Duane2/2

  in the greater scheme of things, does it really matter which browser we use?

  • it does not actually– Meeklo1/3

    You say this now, but our descendants will likely war over such matters.– detritus2/3

    it's not the browser you use, but the quality of the porn that enriches the web experience.– fugged3/3

  I've been meaning to post this myself for the last 6 months. You are so right. It's getting worse and worse. I have to restart it a few times a day! Lets fook it off buddy.

  Plus safari has three finger swipe browsing on MBPs.

  I've never had a single problem with FF ever.

  • yeah, I hear that on windows is the best thing since netscape– Meeklo

  Even on Windows, it's been crashing for me lately. Opening QBN plus Yahoo Mail is guaranteed crash after a a half hour or so.

  • I think yahoo mail and FF don't play nicely. have had problems with it crashing with their mail app.– fugged

  You can change some of the settings to make it run faster but the beta already has those settings set.

  mine will crash randomly now and then (windows xp) it usually has nothing to do with anything... i might be typing a response on QBN and then it pops up an alert... its not often... just once in a while

  • win xp– 7point341/3

    seems to happen more than it used to though, right?– ukit2/3

    its really not that often... it happened maybe a week ago... and i cant remember past that when it happened last– 7point343/3

  I'm on a Mac and switched to Camino, which has been great. Firefox was crashing all the time on me.

  I use Safari v3 and its brilliant. Very few sites have problems and if they do Camino covers it. Also Camino remembers your tabs when it crashes, so i usually just quit camino and the problem sites are already in tabs ready to be checked again.

  • nice! time to give camino another shot– kerus
