    I have uninstalled FF and moved over to chrome. I started getting a lot of crashes with FF. I couldn't stay on a web site without having to reload or having FF tell me how sorry they were for losing the site. Had enough.

    I have yet to install the new FF. Still using Opera for now, but it does pull some memory.

    I think I'm going to ditch FF and move to IE. Many of the websites I have to use seem to cater to IE.

    I'm staying with FF but I will probably not update my desktop (Still using 3.x). If you want to use FF with those websites then get the IE Tab plugin. I use version 2 but the IE Tab + (not to be confused with IE Tab Plus) is the open source version. All versions can be setup to switch on when you visit your "IE" sites. Works great for my XP box when I need to use Windows Update.

    I tried it out and it works for the most part; however, I logon to the Nevada Department of Taxation and it says, "Nice try but we know that you aren't really using IE; you're still using FF and trying to disguise it as IE... fat chance and we're not falling for it!" or something like that.

    They must have coded their site to look/call for something that only IE has that exists outside of the IE engine. Which btw is how IE tab works, using the IE engine and wrapping it in a FF window.

    They MUST be getting paid by M$ to do that since only a moron or greedy idiot would code a website only for IE, The buggiest, least secure browser on the planet. Unless of course someone higher up is getting the kickback and just mandating the use of IE only........

    I just installed Safari just for a change...And I am suprised...The windows version feels quite snappy, and it does not crash like FF 6.0 - gonna stick with it for a while...

    My best friend has been saying for quite a while now that everything is a conspiracy... I'm starting to agree. I just want to know when I'm going to get my cut?
