I been using Firefox since v2. I have all the problems the parent does. I love the browser, send off my crash dumps (about 3 a week) I want the browser to be better and they are getting there.
The memory issues are bad, but only apparent with you have lots of tabs open for long periods of time. I can at times have over 50 pages open and it is around this time things start to crash. Why 50 pages at one time? Well that is how i use my browser. Also the fact that firefox still does not have its tabs on their own threads is frustrating for these crashes as it takes out all tabs, where as sometimes when chrome crashes you don't always lose everything.
Anyway FireFox is a great browser just wish they stopped following the chrome team around like lost puppies.
- pessimizer 12y agoI don't have these issues (often)[1], and I usually keep 100 - 400 tabs open on a 6 year old Dell Inspiron 1525. I'm not sure what you mean by losing all of the tabs because my session is restored on restart and I don't lose anything. [1] I probably restart or crash once or twice a month.
- peteretep 12y agoI would much much rather be using Firefox, but I use Chrome because of the issues being mentioned. Firefox becomes unresponsive for me left running for more than a few days.
- hackuser 12y agoI have hundreds of tabs open all the time and Firefox runs for weeks; Windows or something else gives out first and requires a reboot. But my main point is, with hundreds of millions of users, what are our anecdotal experiences worth?
