I'm using Firefox 3, and although I have a crash now and then, it will start right back up where it was when it crashed instead of forgetting all the twenty-something tabs I had open.

I was a tad apprehensive when I saw you use the C-word Dustin, but having
just experienced my first crash with Firefox 3, I have to say I was impressed
greatly to be able to return right where I left off. Never seen IE do that :dr evil:

Peace

I was using Firefox 3 for a while but I just don't like it anymore. Its crashing on me all the time and it goes super slow while my other browsers go at normal speed with my connection. I just stick to safari now. IE can just go die I hate IE.

I haven't gotten to use it on a Mac.  But what I like most about Firefox 3 is the ability to move the scroll bar to the left side of the screen so I'm not blocking the screen with my hand when I scroll down a page.

A Tech Note Here about Firefox 3.0 - 3.0.1  Only

It was so slow that I had to revert back to IE
while I was researching the FIX for FF.

Seems they decided that IPv6 was in use
and so they made it the default,   WRONG!!!!!

So, here it is and FF is now fast again.


Open a blank tab in FF,
type in about:config and enter

type ip in the filter box

look for: network.dns.disableIPv6;false

double click it and turn it true

exit FF, reboot your computer and give it a try

It worked great for me.

;I got this fix from an IT pal in the U.S; FF is running like a train here now!

Peace

This is all so very strange because I haven't noticed it running slow at all.  I'm now on 3.0.1, but I haven't noticed anything about Firefox being any slower than version 2.  Maybe it's just my hardware setup; I don't know.

It really pisses me off tho when I run across a site where some stupid little feature won't work right in Firefox. That's the only reason I still keep IE around. :razz:

I've had it before, and it worked for stuff like that at least 80% of the time. I haven't downloaded it again since I've reinstalled everything, tho.

Opera 11

I was using Safari 5.0.3, but since I've switched to Opera, there's been no looking back (except when hyper-links load in Safari on my Mac Mini).
Opera (now using version 11), has proved to be a much more secure browser, making mallware & spyware a thing of the past. Safe Surfing here  8)
