Do you like firefox 3?

I use FF3 on Ubuntu with no problems. It's very responsive.

If you're still having memory and rendering issues, I suggest that one of your plug-ins is the culprit.

For example, if you're using the Ad Block Plus Updater G add-on, it'll slow down the rendering time. Remove the Ad Block Plus and the Updater. Then reinstall Ad Block Plus without the updater. The first time you fire up the plug-in it'll ask you to subscribe to a block list (thus negating the need for the Updater). Choose the first option, EasyList I think.

Even if you're not using the Updater, one of other plug-ins that you're using may be causing the problem.

Lastly, you might want to consider using the Tweak Network add-on. It allows you to open multiple connections to a server to download the pages faster. You should only do this on a fast computer. Oh, and don't use the Faster Fox plug-in. That plug-in puts the beat down on servers by prefetching the pages for every link on the page you're viewing. It wastes a lot of the resources of the site that you're visiting.

I have no plugins. I disabled all plugins and it still crashed every 30 minutes. I checked out forums and other people were having the same problem on XP pro. Also I am tired of the FF-adobe plugin locking up my shit for 10 seconds.

I also never enable prefetching. It is rude to server owners. Firefox should have done away with that shit by now. Connections are plenty fast. There is no need for it really. I am from the dil-up era, so I am real use to havign tons of shit goign so I can do oen thign while another thing loads. That is why I have to have a powerful machine that can keep up with me.

I liked FF2. I will probabaly reload it.

I've been using FF 3.0.1 on XP without any issues at all. Hasn't ever crashed on me either.

Like any other major release I'll just wait a month or two then upgrade. Let other people deal with the annoying ass initial bugs.

I've found the Opera browser to be an excellent choice, only thing it's missing is adblock plus extension which makes life oh so sweet on the webernet

Fire Fox hasn't crashed on me since I updated to 3 but that may be because I didn't update until 3.0.1. I have XP with SP2 not going to bother with any more service packs, I'll probably just get Vista pretty soon anyway so why bother....
