no crashes
and ridiculous tabs open, so its pretty stable

I just don't understand what you people who say they experience crashes are doing to cause them. I have yet to have the release version of FF3 crash on me and the only time it did was during Beta 5 but it was mainly due to quicktime. Otherwise it has been rock solid for me. Also when people say opera is faster, just what are you referring too? Rendering time? or First open time? or Something else?

Maybe you should take your computer in to have a qualified technician diagnose it for you.

:laugh:

FF3 + adblock FTW

never really used opera and just installed it.
can i have multiple tabs saved as my Home and have them all load up at startup like FF?

Running it on Vista x64 - Zero crashes. Zero problems.

 

[murphy55d]

No crashes for FF3 for me either.

 

[IEC]

People must have screwed up OS installs or something, because FF2 - FF3 (including RCs) have never crashed on me...

My FF only crashes if I accidentally clicked on one of those retarded full screen scripted flashed video links posted on here.

Clearly if FF crashes on you constantly, it's user error 99.9999=100% of the time.

Sounds like your computer is fvcked.

And my home computer, and my friends computers, and the 3-400 computers its installed on at my work?

Do yourself, your friends, and the computers at work install garbage like yahoo/google toolbards like retards? Both of those plugins are prone to flash/quicktime crashes which is related purely to bad plugin coding and has nothing to do with Firefox.

I deploy over 12,000 workspaces with Firefox 3 with autopurge scripts to remove yahoo/google/etc toolbars and the number of Firefox tickets I have seen pass through the queue for incident:crash = 0. I have over 20,000 IE crash reports since Feb 02 (bundled IE6 and 7, however..) and we do not allow Opera.

Sounds like you're just retarded and don't understand how to utilize a Windows update server, run windows updates, and keep Firefox up to date and devoid of malicious third party bloatware.

I have tried Opera. It isn't terrible, I would use it if I didn't have Firefox, but there are a few minor things about it that annoy me.

I'd venture to say that a large majority of crashes are caused by scripts on websites you're visiting, and/or various buggy plugins. If you're experiencing problems, disable all your plugins and one at a time, start reenabling them. You should be able to find the culprit after a while.

Don't have 200 tabs open, that'll greatly increase your chances of the browser crashing...

My thoughts exactly...the only time FF has ever crashed on me has been due to addons such as flash or java screwing up.

User Error.

i got my work machine with a fresh install of FF and i loathe add-on toolbars - it was happening since day one of use. and you sound retarded for making asinine assumptions.

Did a little digging, i'm not the only one with issues it seems:
http://www.blogsdna.com/430/9-...es-hanging-problem.htm

Firefox 3 is one of Best Open Source Browser and highly Secure Browser. With the Release of Firefox 3 on Download Day it has made the way to millions of users Computer. Majority of Users are happy with Firefox 3 which has improved Memory Management and Speed. Even i have felt that memory Consumption is reduced alot and WebPages loads way faster then older Firefox version. Read how you can Tweak Firefox 3 about:config to get more out of Firefox 3.

But some of users are not happy just because of some of random Crashes of Firefox 3. This is really frustrating for them. Many Users have reported that this Crashes never happened with them before. After Searching around whole day I got some of Fixes for Firefox 3 Crashes This might help some Users .

Or this...

I started to experience real big problem with Firefox 3 RC2 that is intermittently crashing of the browser. I thought this is normal because it is still under testing and not a final stable release. Within a week, Firefox RC3 was released and it is the last RC before the final release. Updated to RC3, still the same crashing problem. About a week later, Firefox 3 final was released and I immediately updated my Firefox to the latest version hoping that the crashing problem would be fixed.

Unfortunately even the final ?stable? version of Firefox 3 is still crashing intermittently. Waited for nearly 2 weeks, but still no updates. This crashing problem is really annoying because it is intermittent and there is no way to replicate the problem. Firefox 3 can crash when opening a site with flash, opening a new tab, closing tab, filling up forms and etc? I?ve got really fed up with the problem and I had to find a solution.

Unmitigated assholes ftl

I've used FF since V0.8, and I could count the crashes I've had on 1 hand.
