firefox is still a piece of shit
 

memory leak city.

opera is decent

I love firefox.

Opera ftw!

firefox is a slow sloppy browser.. tried to get into it multiple times because the plugins are awesome but issues issues issues.. and its so fuckign slow..

Im sticking to IE and Opera.. did i mention the Opera mail client? Its superb

firefox is the best? what problems you having?

MEMORY LEAKS

Thank you for not being a sheep. There are still many sane people out here. :)

FF's newest update 1.5.02 is fast as fuck. Haven't had a single memory issue so far.

<3 firefox and <3 mouse gestures even though opera has it too, but firefox has a more macho name.

Opera still wins for me

Firefox is using ~400MB of RAM atm w/ only 2 windows open, certainly not working as intended :/

not sure what you guys are doing wrong, but it's working great for me... :thumbsup

someone please tell me why people would even use another browser when one is built right into windows??

unless you're on IE all fucking day long and keep having problem after problem, why the fuck would you need a diff browser???

The persons having problems with it...May have another program running that may be causing conflicts...

If you are finding memory leaks in Firefox.... what other programs are you running at the same time, Mate?

the memory leaks are the only things i dislike

firefox sucks my goater

firefox is still the best! IMO :thumbsup

i think it's pretty good now, memorywise, w/ the newest update. it may still have if it's left on for days..

i did a test, and made a screen capture here: :upsidedow

Mozilla is the way to go, firefox and IE suck.

I've been using FireFox for awhile and love it. I don't know about any mem leaks but I have 2 gig of memory so maybe I don't notice.

everytime i watch a freeken streaming video... i have to alt crtrl delete and end process... cause it freezes....


anyone got a fix for this??

:1orglaugh :1orglaugh :1orglaugh

never seen that one happen. You might want to post in the Mozilla Forum. There are a zillion users and someone will know a solution.

I prefer Firefox over IE.

This is why people are leaving IE in droves. Sick and tired of being a part of Microsofts Patch of The Week Club.

The latest patch this week is really fucking a lot of people's systems.

FF is cool - nuff said

Sheep is using IE ma silwi wabbit. :winkwink:

if you are having memory leaks why dont you log them as bugs?! FF will fix it.

OPera, definetly - it is the best program available out there...

Ok, you like Firefox and I don't. Cool! However, since when is an often updated program a bad thing? MS is one of few companies that actually fix shit that comes up FAST. None of this wait until a new version is released in 6 months crap.

Yes there are problems sometimes. It is impossible to test for every possible configuration on the planet before an actual release. Shit happens and they fix it pretty darn quick. Lucky for everyone that has a pc not 12 years old they can hit that magic system restore button and fix something that broke with 10 seconds of effort.

Everyone that likes Firefox seems to back it for reasons that are insignificant. What's really funny is that the effort to push Firefox as a wide release browser is going to create the problems that people moved to Firefox to escape. The bigger that userbase grows the more likely you are to get infected with some nasty ass spyware because it's becoming more and more profitable.

And for the record, I haven't had any spyware for a long damn time. I browse with IE and 0 antivirus programs. MS has put out some hardcore updates lately that kill any chance of spyware getting onto the pc of a non retarded surfer. 8 or 9 months ago I could run spyware programs and find 20 to 50 instances of stuff. Nothing that ever bogged me down but it was there regardless. When I run it now I find 0.

This will only fuel the fire of spyware makers to find alternate means of infection and my guess would be that Firefox users will be the number one target. Lets see how fast Firefox gets those updates out when there are 200 people coding spyware on a daily basis for every possible exploit in their code. They are not immune.

it's the tabs that cause memory leaks, if you open a new tab you use more memory, but since it only uses one process for the browser it for some reason keeps using that bit of memory. Same with IE7.
Open a bunch of tabs and soon you'll be using 100MB+, even if you've closed all but one.

What they need to do is open a new process each time you open a tab and then that process gets killed if you close the tab...

That's the only thing I hate about it

the funny thing is.. this has been happening for the past year on every single computer of mine

I agree, but I have enough ram to counter it :)

Always was...

my firefox is working great

I just upgraded and can finally say that it's NOT being a memory hog for me anymore. 2 PCs, both running Firefox much better.

4 windows
23 tabs
12 plug-ins
no reboots for the last 10 days
120mb memory usage
Still much faster then IE.
I will switch only when i finish my own remake of mozila.

I love firefox

new update just released today (1.5.0.2) , looking good so far

:smokin

Opera is the best

I'm already used to the memory leaks :p I mean, obviously if you have a shit load of tabs opened, it's bound to happen anyway. :\

Reason you think firefox sucks is becuase yiu do not know how to reconfigure it I used firefox for a while now and id never go to ie again cuz ms products suck full of bugs and stuff. Besides the way i got my firefox setup it get rid of all the crap that ie gives you and also allows me to grab anything of anysite no metter what the protection is.

Just get the newest firefox. It rocks!

my FF is doing very fine here
