Firefox 3.6 (RC2)

Anyone install this yet? Any notable (visual/feature) improvements??

Re: Firefox 3.6 (RC2)

I've given up on Firefox and moved to Opera. Firefox takes ages to load up and is such a resource hog.

Unfortunately I have been having a repeat issue with FF where it's becoming an insane memory hog. I cant type this post without the cursor getting stuck words behind and then suddenly catching up to where I've actually typed.

Same as. Also when I'm typing in URL's. Opera does everything pretty much instantly.

Havn't been having any memory issues with FF but the last few releases seem to just hang for no reason and say not responding in the top bar then sort themselves out again. I have also been having a lot more crashes where it will just close without warning, it does always seem to restore the tabs though so it isnt too bad.

I have a problem were all my history gets deleted every time I close it. The history I have is about 5 months old I don´t know how to fix this and it´s driving me nuts!

this is driving me insane. I've just given up on FF until the next release is out. I'm tired of my browser crashing 5 times a day and slowing down like a mofo.

Using Lunascape6 until 3.6 is officially out.

might be this simple:

Firefox>Preferences>PrivateData - uncheck "Always clear my private data when I close firefox"

A friend of mine has exactly the same issues. For me it works without any crashes so far, but I installed the sessions manager addon just in case.

Well the fucking memory hog still exists and this happens to me after I leave a firefox session open with more than 80-100 tabs open...

Opera works without such issues, but unfortunately it does not support the variety of plugins present for firefox.

PS: :There is also a 3.7Alpha version which is claimed to be quicker than ever. I will try to find a leaked valid link for that and I hope this story is not a hoax BS or something...

Not really digging Avant (even though download.com has it listed as being the most downloaded browser - even more than FF).

Trying Opera now!

Re: Firefox 3.6 (RC2)

totally digging opera, although I'm not a big fan of the default font

Re: Firefox 3.6 (RC2)

Took me a few days to adjust but once there I hardly load Firefox up for anything now. There are a few features I miss. But love having the speed dial load up as my start page.

PS. Looks a hell of a lot nicer on Windows 7.

Re: Firefox 3.6 (RC2)

i used to have problem with FF where it kept crashing on me for no apparent reason but the problem went away when i upgraded it to 3.5

Re: Firefox 3.6 (RC2)
