Which browser do you use?
I been using the newest version of Firefox with virtually no problems until the other day; it crashed 10 times within 20 minutes! I downloaded a debugging app that works with Firefox and deleted a download file but still the problem persists. It is a shame since I prefer it over the rest.
So I am using Safari for now. It seems to be stable.
Which one are you currently using and have you experienced the same problems with firefox?

Re: Which browser do you use?
Firefox, seems to do the job but it's crappy when I try to work with two or more tabs.

Re: Which browser do you use?
Firefox is the fastest on my system and has the useful downthemall download manager add-on.
IE is painfully slow and opera kept crashing on me.

Re: Which browser do you use?
I got the same problem a few weeks ago and despite lots of effort, couldn't get FFox running again - it (the bug) continually delltes a .dll file?
I now use Opera and I like it.

Re: Which browser do you use?
FF isn't saving my bookmarks anymore. They're there for a minute then gone. I have four browsers, FF is the fastest.

Re: Which browser do you use?

Re: Which browser do you use?
I used to use Safari, but it got quite slow, so I switched to Firefox.... which is even slower. I've stayed with Firefox though, partly out of laziness and partly because I do love adblock.

Re: Which browser do you use?
^ and ^ Do you guys find Opera faster than Firefox? Does it have an add on download manager? That's a bonus for me on my snail system.
Another problem I found with Opera was if I was loading a page of, say, porn movie galleries  it would only load about half the gallery pictures before saying "done"
