   Reviewing 5.0.1 (Nov 4, 2011)

   Firefox is my default browser; I won't use IE and I won't use Chrome. IE is still IE with all of it's problems and doesn't hold a candle to Firefox, no matter the version, and it MS so you know they're being nosy. Chrome I've heard works very well with Flash, but it's still the nosiest browser out there then add the fact that it's not configurable. I have Opera installed, but only use it for certain things. I've also tried Apple Safari and oh yeah it's fast, but there are just some facets of Flash it just can't handle and of course it's not at all configurable.
   
   So, that brings us back to Firefox; I upgraded to version 4.01 from version 3 as v3 handled Flash pretty well, but in a heavy Flash environment it tended to slow down and degrade a lot more. V4 seems to be able to handle the heavy Flash environments much better and is much faster overall that v3.
   
   My one complaint with v4.01 is that it crashes quite a bit usually when there is a lot of page switching going on. Other than that is great.
   
   No change with v5; it still crashes with heavy page switching. Other than that I have not problems with it.

   Mozilla Firefox is a very good browser, but occasionally crashes and displays web-pages incorrectly. I've tried all the browsers and they each have their own problems, not one is completely usable. Google Chrome is Firefox's greatest competition, but it has some serious faults (Print Preview, Pop-up Blocking, Password Exporting and Opening File Types by Default). They don't have Google's money to burn, but they make due with what they have. I hope Mozilla's accelerated release cycle improves it's stability and usefulness. I'm not ready to abandon Firefox just yet.

   FireFox is no longer a "product". It depends upon add-ons that don't keep pace with the fast major version release cycle Even "compatible" add-ons seem to give you blank URLs in the address bar. I had to go back to 3.6.18 just to stay working.

   How do I hate thee. Let me make this easy. I don't like anything about thee. You're like a very bad Google Chrome.

   Dude, if you REALLY think you are so smart and know so much more than everyone else, why don't you be smart enough and download your English release from the directory you show us and install it - then find out what the hell version it is - it's not so difficult to see the "you are running the beta version" or something or another that gets loaded on the first start page of the program. THIS IS A DAMN BETA FOLKS - THE final version HAS NOT BEEN RELEASED!!! Don't install this and then come complain that something doesn't work. This is still BETA!!
