**** firefox
Anyone else having troubles with firefox? Mine randomly quits multiple times a day sometimes as soon as I restart it. I only have IE tab, stumble upon, and linkification installed.

Been happening to me too. I just got rid of a nasty virus so I figured it was remnants of that. Now I'm curious.

I still haven't figured out why exactly it does it. I feel certain types of content trigger it or the amount of tabs open. When I go to the flickr explore every morning I open about 20-30 tabs of all the top photos and after a minute or so while going through them- crash. It only recently started happening to so it is really annoying.

Perhaps why I'm using Chrome more and more.

Chrome really good? I don't think I ever got around to installing it.

Without even realising it, chrome has become my main browser. There's still a few small bugs but on the whole it works just fine. It feels light-weight and intuitive. For some reason I never really fell into using FF as my main browser but chrome feels right.

How does Chrome compare to other browsers? Wait, you mean there are other browsers????

For me, the add-ons are usually the problem.

I need firebug, charles, flash switcher, swf catcher, web dev toolbar, S3 organizer, Delicious tag icon, flash tracer and so on before I even think about switching.
The last patch of FF makes it a bit bugged but I use FF like you all the time and it crashed once in the last 3 days. That's alright with me. IMHO FF is still THE browser

It would still be THE browser for me and has been for years but this crashing issue is nonsense.

I just did a scan on the last release on a security stand point and it looks like remote plugins in FF are packing the packets and cause a memory issue. Fixing bugs makes FF safer too, perhaps, but not entirely secure, since all software is a work in progress.
Looks like Firefox 3.0.6 crashes with evidence of memory corruption..

I started using Chrome the day it came out but gmail kept recycling my gtalk(AIM) connection and my buddies were *****in. "Come in or stay out man."
And I just can't get by without my firebug/dev tool bar.
I keep waiting for a chrome upgrade that allows for plugins.
@atRax - Checkout thunderbolt, you can log flash right to firebug.

no plugins for chrome? no download for me.
I had a horrible problem with Firefox for a while, and it seemed to be a Flash problem (engadget & gizmodo would CONSTANTLY crash FF for me). I never really got it fixed as the harddrive died a couple weeks later. I always thought it was a RAM issue though.

I do use Firefox, maybe once every 2 months for scripts heavy site which somehow fail to load in Chrome or Opera, but otherwise Chrome has been m default ever since its inception.
I don't know much about FF's plugins but I terribly love Chrome's "Inspect element" option, and it's task manager too!

Chrome's task manager is a great way to see what kind of memory management your flash movies have but firebug makes "inspect element" look stupid.

I never liked FireFox. Skipped it.
But I switched to Chrome and haven't looked back since the day I installed it.

They are reportedly on their way. And by then, you may find yourself way behind in Chrome skills if you don't switch now.
