    Is Firefox 5 more stable than its predecessor?

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

              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.

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

                          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.

                              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.

                                          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

                                            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.

                                                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

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

                                                              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

                                                                                Opera is still the best.

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)
