Firefox 3, crashes on me constantly. As has every Firefox update since Firefox 3, so far. And for some strange reason, Firefox 3 on my computer, absolutely hates YouTube and Twitter.

I swear were it not for the extensions, I would have dumped Firefox 3 for Chrome or Opera a long time ago. Never, ever have any trouble out of either of those browsers - ever. Normally with the old Firefox and Firefox 2, if you had too many extensions, it would crash your browser. Not so with Firefox 3. I've tried running it with ZERO extensions, and it still crashes like the Exxon Valdez. I think it is a bad day for a browser, when even IE runs more stable. And I don't even like IE. Yet, on my computers, it actually runs more stable than Firefox 3 - and trust me, that is bumbing me out.

The few extensions that I do use, have become critical for work, which is the only reason I stick with Firefox 3. But I swear, if I could get the exact same functionality as these extensions from Opera or Chrome, I'd dump Firefox 3 and never look back.

Hopefully, they've fixed these issues with Firefox 3.5. I guess I will know within the hour.
