Mozilla Firefox or Opera, choose your browser. (2 Viewers)

Allow me to rephrase..

"If I do reluctantly make this change without much interest in why I'm doing it or what I gain by it, is it alright for me to come here and complain about your bad suggestion when my bookmarks are sorted incorrectly or not all my plugins work"?

A little whoopsie here, a bigass security hole was just discovered in Mozilla, apparently it lets the attacker run programs on your computer

http://www.mozilla.org/security/shell.html

Updates to all Mozilla software are available.

Oh and the bug only applies to Windows versions of the software...

 

[Lawnchair Bes]

that sounded very susspicious.

 

[gray]

It cant be...

Oh well, at least it took literally 7 seconds to patch, and no restart required :thumb:

 

[Lawnchair Bes]

thats exactly what i found suspicious.

I moved to Mozilla 1.6 sometime ago then found it too slow, changed to Firefox 0.8
Any good things in 0.9?

 

[Martin]

0.9 much better than 0.8 imo

 

[The Arif]

which is better?

mozilla or opera?

 

[Lawnchair Bes]

for me go with opera.


but if you ask martin he would probably make a case with valid arguments as to why you should switch to mozilla.

I've made this thread essential. Why? Because it's worth it.

As much as I love Firefox, I do have some problems with it. It crashes more then IE ever did, although IE has the advantage of being built into the OS on Windows. It freezes for a few seconds whenever I start a download which I find rather annoying if I am downloading a bunch of files at once.

Just the other day, the browser froze on me and I didn't feel like dealing with it so I just left it in its frosen state. Anyway, I came back like an hour later to deal with it and found that it left my processor at 100% the whole time and raised my CPU temp about 20 degrees higher then I like it.

Woh that's not good. You could go back to Moz which is more stable I think. I've concluded that Firefox is now so good that I switched to it. It doesn't crash much but it does occasionally. Moz also did.

See if it crashes from Graham's blog, mine does:

[BigIzz]

Haha I'l see but I feel like I'm jumping off a cliff or something

 

[BigIzz]

Nope didn't crash

I have regualr old Mozilla as well but I like Firefox because it is a lot lighter and rather then having to waste a whole toolbar on Google, Firefox only takes up a little bit of otherwise unused space. I think the problem is specific to this computer though because I don't have the same problems with my laptop. You gotta reinstall XP every few months just to keep things running properly.
