FF Gone Awful
-
I followed the prompted upgrade to FF3.6 about 45 minutes ago. It's crashed 8 times since then and I'm currently downloading IE8. Waste of time.

Similar things happened with me when I upgraded to FF 3.6. :~ But it automatically got fixed after a few hours. I don't know how that happened. :confused: Downloading IE8 is seriously a waste of time. I really hope Microsoft will come up with something good in the next version.

Have to agree - IE8 is a waste of time - try Google Chrome, it works for me!

I just reinstalled Windows on my computer and about 50 programs. Out of all of them, Chrome gave me the most trouble... caused my computer to power off instantly during the install (and, no, it didn't finish installing). I think I'll stay away from Chrome for a while to give them a chance to fix that. SQL Server, by the way, gave me the second most amount of trouble. Turns out it can't be installed on a compressed drive, so the install just fails without any clue as to why. :doh:

Mine was crashed many time with FB. :(( Although it works very fine however I can not sacrifice FB over opera. ;)

You're giving too much importance to facebook! Used chewing gum are going to feel insulted.

Odd - never had a moments trouble from Chrome (unlike IE8). Didn't like FF for no obvious reason. Opera just looked so hideous when it started up the first time that I just closed it and never went back. Chrome is (on my system) quick, clean, stable and very effective.

My favorite thing about Chrome is the ability to drag tabs between browser windows... IE8 can drag tabs, but not to different Windows. It has it's :thumbsup: and it's :thumbsdown: , but I usually use IE8 because it does most the stuff I need it too... it does crash/freeze like crazy though.

Nothing wrong with chrome......99% of all my browsing is with chrome now. The other 1% is when i log into my company Outlook Web Mail, as it is a lot richer in IE.

Why the hell would you want to use compressed drives nowadays? Storage is so big and cheap, it is not worth the OS overhead, and as you can see, some things don't like it!

Always been tempted... I keep saying I'll give FF another chance. I'd been over to Chrome and back once some time ago when Chrome was buggier. At the time the speed trade-off wasn't worth the pain. With Opera on Android being nothing short of awesome (beta 5) I'm keen to give the full blown version a shot.

Just wanted to give it a try (saving some space would be nice, as I split my hard drive into multiple partitions to have backup copies of XP installed... I know, I could use a ghost or VM, but I'm not fancy like that). But I turned it off since SQL Server doesn't like it. Still, compression is supposed to be transparent... perhaps SQL Server should, oh, tell me that the drive shouldn't be compressed and then give me a chance to turn off compression rather than just failing for an unknown reason.

I also like the way you can have an extension for "Display this page in an IE based tab" which means I can keep Flash, Java and debug mode out of my "normal" browser, but they are a click away if I want them.

I've not experienced increased problems with 3.6 compared to 3.5. However, all browsers experience severe problems with some users. I base this conclusion on observing posts to the various forums.

Still has quite a few site problems (not necessarily Opera's fault but an unfortunate fact) and a few serious issues such as not implementing drag and drop properly in text areas like this one.

I'm considering rolling back to 10.10 if a bugfix patch doesn't come out soon. I've had several crashes with 10.5 (can't recall the last time before that I had one) and a problem where a tab "goes missing". It shows up on my tab bar but nothing in the UI beyond the tab bar selection updates when I try and select it.

Firefox can do that. It's been able to do that for some time now.
