Firefox 3.5

Firefox 3.5 4ever!! !..... Well, actually until the next version comes out.

They are two different things, Firefox uses Gecko, and chrome uses webkit

I hate it when people say misleading things like this

I read somewhere the next version will be 3.6 followed by 4 (even though 3.5 is actually 3.1)

Firefox 3.6 4ever!! !

Haha, kidding.

damn!!

it crushed several times today on my work computer!

After IE8 crashed my computer last week, I'm now officially converted to Firefox. It surprises me how easily I got used to FF3.5 after having used IE ever since I first got a web connection in 2002.

I'm very pleased with Firefox 3.5. I can't play YouTube in fullscreen though, which is a dissipointment, so I'm using Opera for that.

Other than that it feels fast and works good.

mine still keeps crashing occasionally

but I do admit I messed up my about:config a bit :p that must be it. oh well...

khelben why can't you play videos on full screen? I had no problems with that.

Here comes a hi-tech answer: I don't know.

Which operating system are you using Firefox on? Windows?

yeah I use XP at home and Vista at work.

Software version numbers are purely arbitrary, and each project seems to have its own formula. They could call it Firefox pi for all I care, so long as I can tell what they're talking about.

I just switched over to FF3.5 after restoring my XP partition...

I get the occasional crash and yes it is something of a memory hog.....(356,816K )

But here are what my typical sessions look like, multiple windows with multiple tabs open:


And I have all sorts of add-ons and extensions running as well......

Odd, I've never managed to crash Firefox. Occasionally it will freeze up in Ubuntu, though.

If you want a real memory hog, try out the beta of Seamonkey 2. (It's the same core rendering engine as FF3.5) After some light browsing, it got up to about 700MB.

I think what gbollard was trying to say was that if you had to use firefox without addons, you might as well be using chrome at that point. Chrome is good if you just want a very simple lightweight browser. It's the addons that give firefox the versatility that makes it a superior web browser to just about everything else out there at this point...

Been using 3.5 for a while now, as Shiretoko, (in Ubuntu) love it, I have had some compatibility issues but as Orwell rightly points out these will be fixed, it does crash occasionally, but then it gives you a really nice apology for doing so

I've looked it over, and now I realize it's fine in XP, it's only in Windows 2000 that it won't keep a cookie... One of the 11 warning signs your OS is obsolescent...

I had it blow up once at a ...uh...well, they have videos there, and one of them blew it up real good.. aside from that, stable as a table...
