Seriously… Firefox is crashing. Often. And I'm not just talking a-
Yep, it crashed while typing it. The little hyphen denotes where it crashed while I was typing.It can crash as often as 5-8 times in a single sitting of use - that can USUALLY range from 2-5 hours (with OR without breaks in between). This didn't happen with Firefox 3.x It crashed but not like this. It occasionally did.Firefox 4 betas/release candidate(s)? Flawless. No problems at all.Firefox 4? Nope. Go to your room and have a time out. BAD firefox. :(Honestly? I'd rather not use Opera and DEFINITELY not Chrome (bad experience with both). I'm using……wait for it…wait for iiiit………..Internet Explorer 9.Somehow I'm using it. And I'm liking it. I feel like I betraying a browser I've liked but… Until Mozilla get's their crap together I'm using IE for anything important enough to not have crash on me.Anyone have any ideas? Firefox's IRC channels had no help (ignored or stupid ideas that didn't work) and posting on the forums yields replies on how people have these problems… but no solutions. :/
I have to use IE8 since I'm on XP. Rarely a tab will crash but that's probably due to the fact my computer sucks.
I remember when FF would completely screw up if I searched Wikipedia for "Eczema". That was weird.
Google Chrome dude!
The following browsers are, are now, or were great: Chrome, IE 8./9, FF 3.x+, FF4RC/Betas, FF4.x, Opera.
The following browsers I can actually use because i haven't run into recent problems: IE9I'm MOSTLY poking fun at Mozilla, since everyone can screw up. And I'm also poking fun at myself because me and my friends would belittle IE, and now suddenly it's a browser worth using… somehow.Yeah it's surprising how much work is being put into the IE now. They've already started the beta testing process for IE10.
I love poking fun at mozilla because they act like they are so awesome but then they have these really annoying bugs that nobody wants to fix so they sit in the bug database for 8 years.What I hate about the ipod touch/iphone is safari. They made an Opera app but it only has 2 zoom levels and is really slow…
IE is finally a worthy contender. Ever since I discovered the existence of more browsers than AOL and IE (when my parents would only use those),, I aimed to never touch those browsers unless I needed. But now IE is finally at LEAST a good browser (a step above decent, which is a big deal for me anyway).
As for Safari… it's overall pretty good. I despise the 8 tab limit though - I jailbroke the iPod for a while and had enabled an extention for infinite pages but after I un-jailbroke it, I forgot...Oddly somehow the opened tabs remained after resetting and restoring my iPod (and updating) so I still had like 12 opened tabs. Somehow it sorta worked… although once I closed a tab I couldn't open additional ones (it just overwrote some of the others)…Hmm, if I were you, I'd try watching it with some Sysinternals tools and see if you can identify a pattern. Or run it via Olly or similar and see what's up.
Eh.. maybe. I might just ignore FF for now and use IE if only because it's simpler. And 'cause I'm lazy. On the other hand I'm actually intersted enough to TRY and figure it out. So I dunno.
