I hate firefox..

[NotoriousBIG_PJ]

I spent an hour filling out crap for a job posting submital and firefox crashed before I could submit. I'm going back to old slow reliable internet explorer.

Biggie.

Tell me about it. I also learned the hard way, and keep IE around exclusively for complicated forms or just any important website that requires input.

It's a sweet thing to have Firefox installed as a Linux user though, where nothing ever crashes

Truthfully, with how it was originally coded for *nix, you should be thankful it even runs.

The problem is that many websites use form submission scripts that are IE-only (i.e. don't follow web standards). I agree that it's good to have IE sitting around for these particular cases...

Firefox has crashed on me a couple of times but despite that, I still use it. It's vastly superior to IE IMO and (on my system anyway) IE has crashed with more frequency than Firefox could ever dream of.

My girlfriend bought a new Accord in `02 and the tranny had to be replaced at less than 4k miles, but I don't hate Hondas or Accords because of that incident. Stuff happens...

BTW, Biggie, I'm assuming that you're running the current version (1.0.6)?

That's another point...although there are a couple of things that I prefer about Firefox that causes me to use it more than Opera, the latter has never ever crashed on me. Ever! Something that I really can't say about any other browser.

I have never had firefox crash on me, i havent used IE in a long long time, but it's still around for 'just in case'...

 

[seeberg]

Huh. I've only had slight problems with the newest 1.0.6, and it's most likely Win98SE not being cooperative. For major text tasks, what I'll do is make a TXT file with what needs submitted, and simply copy+paste+submit. That way, in case Firefox *would* crash, my info could be transferred before problems could ensue.

i didnt feel like quoting the first 2 posts, but: malicious cookies are complex forms.... you get to handle lots of em with ie...

i have only had firefox crash a fiew times. odly it was durring startup and with version 1.0.0. no biggie, try again and it works.

Firefox has crashed on me. I still use it.

 

[YngwieJMalmsteen]

The only problem I've had with firefox is that it sometimes doesn't close properly, and it'll using ~50mb of resources even though I've closed all the windows. No random crashes though, not since much earlier versions.

I use Firefox Mozilla.. and it has never crashed on me. Not once. I use XP Pro by the way.
