  1. I hope they improved the reliability by celardore · · Score: 0, Troll

    I used Firefox 2.0 beta 1 and ended up getting really pissed off. The thing crashed several times a day, I submitted a bug report every time. Went back to 1.5, and happily sailing along again. Firefox hasn't crashed since I went back to the last non beta.

  2. Re:Does it still hog memory? by Overly+Critical+Guy · · Score: 0, Troll
    A "sheep?" I'm a sheep for some reason because I use a browser that packs more features than Firefox, doesn't require extensions to get them, and still manages to use half as much memory and ship in a smaller installer filesize?

    Does Opera come with the features contained in ConQuery, Flashblock, Gmail Notifier, IE Tab, Nuke Anything, Slashdotter, and Web Developer?


    Yes, it does. Next.

    I might install Opera for my grandma, though.


    Shouldn't you be off cloning Opera's features and adding them to the bloated, memory-leaking Firefox codebase?
