I actually gave in last night and installed Firefox 7. Amazingly, I was able to open four tabs! At a glance, it seems as though Firefox might have redeemed itself. However, I'm used to Chrome, so I'll stick with it for the foreseeable future. However, it's good to know that if Chrome becomes bloated and unstable then Firefox could actually be a usable alternative.
No my home system runs on an AMD Phenom II 1090T with 8GB of RAM. Chrome works great on it, but, as I've said, I can't get Firefox to hold more than two tabs open without crashing horribly.
I can't have more than two tabs open in Firefox without a crash, but I am able to have two dozen tabs across 2--3 windows open in Chrome with no issues whatsoever. Adblock Plus exists for Chrome and works just fine.
The last time I used Firefox, I could open and close it over and over and see my memory usage increase with each opening. Firefox leaks memory like a sieve and is extremely unstable. Chrome just works.
Yes, but Chrome has the "actually @^@#$ing works" feature, whereby the browser actually @^@#$ing works! Sometime around Firefox 3.6-ish, I couldn't keep more than one or two tabs open in Firefox without it crashing on me. I switched to Chrome and haven't regretted it for an instant.

Then why does Chrome work on it with no issue whatsoever? If it were a piece of shit, the system would be crashing, not the browser.
Nope.

Nope, it's been more than five minutes since I registered, but even if I had registered five minutes ago, so what?
No thanks, I'll stick to a browser that I trust to actually work.

...is to uninstall the bloated piece of crap that is Firefox and install Chrome. :D
