I used to love Firefox until I recently updated to its 3.5 version. It promised a faster, safer and more reliable browsing experience but it did not keep up to its promise. Instead, a disappointing version that is almost unusable. There were firefox crash whenever I check my facebook, gmail and even yahoo. Here are some errors reported by other users:

FireFox 3.5 is extremely slow to load. But worse, it doesn’t seem to unload
from memory consistently, either, requiring a “kill” from task manager.

For what its worth I let FireFox run with just the Google page open overnight when I returned 8 hours later the firefox was consuming 427000k of memory and increasing….

Since I installed the new version of Firefox 3.5, I lost the Save As ability when comes to downloading

Firefox is no longer the trusted web browser that it once was. I too am having problems with the browser suddenly crashing. The popup blocker will prevent foxnews from loading without permission and even though permission is given, the popup blocker continues to display an “allow” message. If this continues, I will have no alternative but to remove Mozillia from my PC and go back to IE.

I will never use automatic update feature again. This newest 3.5 release is ridiculously disappointing. Guys, you’ve done the horrible job release such a buggy version. I have a problem with capchas in my forum, where I can’t log in anymore if I use FF 3.5. IE works just fine from the same machine. Stupid! Should I switch to Chrome?!!

And more complaints coming…

I, for one, am having crash issues with regards to opening several of my most used websites. What concerns me is when I am about to purchase something and then suddenly the Firefox browser crashed, I might lost a couple of items.

Haven’t tried other browsers so I guess I have to look for other options.

I suggest to initially downgrade to Firefox 3.0.11 while Firefox hopefully figure out these problems or better yet, shift to other available browsers for now.
