Is Firefox 5 more stable than its predecessor? - GoFuckYourself.com

MasterBlow · 06-25-2011, 05:48 PM

Mozilla looks to solve a myriad of complaints about Firefox 4 crashes with a Firefox 5 update made up mostly of bug fixes

Caligari · 06-25-2011, 05:49 PM

remains to be seen, i'm still on 3.6 cuz 4 is a bug fuck so i will see how things look after reviews come in.

TubeKing · 06-25-2011, 05:52 PM

feels exactly the same as 4.

still slow and laggy for me, I've pretty much given up and use IE9 and Chrome

CyberHustler · 06-25-2011, 08:08 PM

I went to Chrome from firefox for I think about 2 years or so... but just last week when I got a new pc I switched back to firefox swiftly and abruptly out of nowhere for no other reason than I think instinct.

AdultKing · 06-25-2011, 08:09 PM

Firefox 5 seems an improvement on the Mac, it starts up really quickly.

Chosen · 06-26-2011, 01:36 AM

I will wait until Firefox 10

JuicyBunny · 06-26-2011, 02:46 AM

firefox is the new chrysler...shit, crapola...

seeandsee · 06-26-2011, 04:19 AM

Chrome is going up and up on my scale, FF must find better core faster!

Whatever the criticisms about Firefox are, they're not backed by a global conglomerate. Firefox is way more secure than IE, and offers a lot more functionality in terms of addons.

Agree! FF4 was buggy and I never used it, but now I found my way back to my fav browser.

As a sidenote: the latest Opera for mac (v.11.11) is also quite good.

Diomed · 06-26-2011, 01:46 PM

I'm still using FF 3.6,

fuck the newest version. I don't care if it is light, it's ugly as hell and strange to operate.

MaDalton · 06-26-2011, 01:54 PM

i run ff 5 - seems fine to me

boneless · 06-26-2011, 02:02 PM

ff5 is way beter then ff4 (for me ;))

Jim_Gunn · 06-26-2011, 03:13 PM

Shit, I just checked I'm still on FF 3.6. Sometimes I am hesititant to update because newer isn't always better!

Thanks for the tip

I was using 3.6.18 (highest version of 3.6) but was hesitant to go to 5.0 but now I will go with Palemoon 5.0

Vjo · 06-26-2011, 10:08 PM

Just installed Palemoon 5.0 but it does not support some Firefox 3.6 add ons.

So uninstalled it and went back to Firefox 3.6.18 for now.

Maybe I'll try Palemoon 3.*

Vjo · 06-26-2011, 10:52 PM

OK Palemoon 3.6.18 up and running and seems fine. Already see a couple things that are better than FF.

For one, they removed the erroneous option that was at: Tools/Options/Advanced/System Defaults

There were two options there (the one on the bottom did nothing and seemed erroneous - it could not be unchecked) Now there is just one option there which seems better.

It literally pops up as fast as notepad. Also opens a tad faster than Firefox 3.6.18 which was pretty fast. All addons working well.

So seems like a good move

michael.kickass · 06-27-2011, 06:08 AM

I got Firefox 5 and so far it's running smoothly

JamesGw · 06-27-2011, 07:56 AM

It seems about the same to me, honestly.

LA Crew · 06-27-2011, 02:16 PM

There were still incompatibility issues with some addons in Firefox 4 and there are even more in 5..

scouser · 06-27-2011, 10:53 PM

no crashes for me so far. ff4 crashed all the time.

buzzard · 06-27-2011, 11:01 PM

Imna feelin it

V_RocKs · 06-28-2011, 02:45 AM

Firefox went to shit.

iwantchixx · 06-28-2011, 05:39 AM

Nope. Still locks up if I have more than 4 tabs open with hi-res photos in it. version 2.x was the cat's meow. It's been rubbish since 3.x

Shey · 06-28-2011, 05:43 AM

Heh, I just checked and was on 4 all along, time to upgrade I guess. Then again, these days I'm all about chrome

iwantchixx · 06-28-2011, 01:21 PM

Just installed Palemoon 5, ported bookmarks and passwords over, only had to manually setup two options. This automatically does everything the way I like it.

Loads pretty damn fast. As fast as textpad.

Stability will need to rear it's ugly head or prove valuable when I use it more though.

H-Tom · 06-28-2011, 01:30 PM

FF 5 is way better than 4.0 and 4.1.

Freaky_Akula · 06-28-2011, 01:49 PM

I think I'll give this Palemoon a try.

Vjo · 06-28-2011, 02:00 PM

Palemoon doesnt seem to work with Roboform as FF 3.6.18 did. So went back to 3.6.18

iwantchixx · 06-28-2011, 03:08 PM

Weird issue, Palemoon wont allow me to send any piece of text in a comment box. I can post topics, but not respond to any. It's like it doesn't recognize the scripting they are using

adultflash · 06-28-2011, 06:21 PM

+ 1 ff5 really quickly, try Pale Moon x64 - 5.0 thx

_Richard_ · 06-28-2011, 06:25 PM

ff 5 can't be any worse

I use Opera for work, and Chrome for browsing. Firefox could have been a contender, but, oh well...

Hentaikid · 06-28-2011, 06:36 PM

Upgraded and it crashed a few minutes into watching a youtube video, then crashed again when trying to recover the session. Crashed repeatedly no matter if I unselected all windows or tried older sessions, in the end I had to reboot the whole PC and I think it started in safe mode or something. Seems to have forgotten the master password too (Maybe it's part of the safe mode thing)

Not impressed so far...

Brent 3dSexCash · 06-28-2011, 07:11 PM

Switched to chrome a while back. Never looked back. I think firefox is trying now to be too many things to too many people...losing its core.
