   Reviewing 3.5.5 (Nov 16, 2009)

   I love FF, but this is the worst version that I have ever used. It crashes, and is slow. After closing my tabs, I closed the browser and when I reopened FF, it opened all of my tabs back, each in a new window. Come on people, this is getting to be to much. I will go back to 3.0.15.

   By attempting to be all things to all people Firefox has become nothing to anyone. The last version, 3.54, crashed my system. They desperately need to make this browser leaner and meaner. That means eliminating many of the addons.
   
   I'm currently using Seamonkey which has fewer choices, but is very fast and much easier to use. They have eliminated Turbo and that was an excellent choice.

   @ Blaxima - a looser you are...
   or simply Opera troll, giving 5/5 for Opera and only 1/5 for Fx, funny...
   
   Opera is slower than Fx and use more ram... Chromium now is the fastest and Opera is only faster than IE...
   stop f**ging about it, its true...
   look test etc, even betanews have it...

   Fx like Opera or even Chromium is the same secure...
   
   but whatever I will told you you will still give 1/5, because you are Opera fanboy...
   
   @ roj - so report bug on bugzilla, lulz...

   Well... I used Opera even before it was free, and I think I'll always will. But occassionly I also fire up Firefox, as well as Safari. I'd say: if it's not Internet Explorer, it's a good browser. Well... Chrome is a different chapter... I haven't decided yet wether it is to be trusted or not. Still I gave it a try and am not convinced at all by it's usability.
   
   But for the other three (FF, Opera, Safari): they are good and on par, every one has it's advantages and disadvantages, we're not living in a perfect world. Choose by your liking, but rate fair!

   If you are having a problem with extensions in an update, you need the nightly tester tools. It will allow you to force an older extension to work.

   I hope they make it better. Lately I am having huge problems with this running just okay. Been using firefox 2 since that seems to be way better.

   Big speedup over currently released Firefox, on the XP machine I tried this on. While the ACID 3 test isn't perfect yet, it's much closer.
