So after the 13th random crash today, I'm seriously considering dumping Firefox entirely. It appears the more updates they do the more bugs they introduce....

Random crashes are usually extensions, not firefox itself... but I hear what you're saying.

I've now moved to Chrome 4 Beta with AdThwart (The only extension that I absolutely HAD to have on Firefox was AdBlock).

IMO NoScript is even more important.

@ARZ, have you tried Intranet Exploder 8?

I agree that it is some extension. I am on 3.5.6 now and have not had any crashes.

Too many extensions to move....

Using Chrome I'm less concerned about scripting... each browser tab is sandboxed, so the security risk is minimal... AdThwart seems to hide flash advertising (if not block it) as well, so I'm happy.

List your extensions. I remember a while ago the Skype extension was causing frequent crashes and glitches for me, I removed it and it's been near-flawless since.

I haven't tried Chrome yet :eek: I will at some point in the not too distant future, although I am quite happy with Fx except when Fx temporarily goes into an "uninterruptable" state in Linux - I still want to know why that happens and it doesn't seem to be extension-related, but it must be a thread synchronisation issue.

IE8 doesn't crash much - maybe once a month or so.

I've been using it for a while for rendering xhtml GUIs for my Windoze applications, and it is still quirky but better than previous failures of IE.

As a Microsoft fan you must have used it countless times.

Sometimes one has to present a possibly worse alternative in order to shine a perspective light on things...

I must admit since I've switched over to Windows 7, Firefox 3.6.5 has somewhat slowed down and kinda locks up on occasions to the point that I sometimes think M$ sense you running FF and screw it purposely, would not put it past them :)
