Firefox 7 has some serious problems

Me too, I am ready to dump it.

Is anyone happy with it?

Considering getting a different browser.. can anyone recommend me any good browsers?

i still use firefox 2.

all apps have a tendency to get fatter, slower and worthless over the course of "Updates"

Google Chrome or IE9. So far IE9 outperforms all of them.
I was a big fan of Firefox until I tried Google Chrome a couple years ago. Even Opera works better than Firefox.

I like using Google Chrome. I'm thinking about giving Firefox another go though.

I have been using "Aurora" by Firefox. I am running the Mac OS X Lion 10.7.1 and I have been pretty pleased with it so far. The last Firefox I had kept crashing when I had multiple tabs open.

The download is located here [link to www.mozilla.org]

Ive started using chrome for watching videos it seems to be faster and the past 3 updates for firefox have been crap.

I love the UI of IE9, but I can't stand using it without add-ons. They are VERY useful and convenient.

Glad I didn't do the update for it.

Thanks for the heads up.

IE5

That is EXACTLY why I still run windows 3.1...

Still on FF6. Not uploading 7! Thanks for the heads up!

I'm sick of the pop-ups for 7, if they're pushing it that hard there must be something in it I don't want.

lol hey 3.1 was great compared to dos

I agree. Since the latest update my browser has been freezing pretty often. When I try to open my bookmarks, or even add a site to bookmarks, the browser freezes for about 2 minutes. Sometimes it unfreezes but usually it crashes.

the only browsers you should be using are chrome or firefox.


I prefer firefox for security add-ons


IE Opera and others were compromised easily in a google $20,000 challenge.

Firefox and chrome were not.

You newbs are crazy, opera is the best and has been for some time even the beast can't harm it.

I used to LOVE firefox. But with every update came more and more ads. Then this last update slowed everything to worse than a crawl. I switched to Chrome. Chrome used to crash but is now remaining stable and waaaay faster than Opera or Firefox. I still use Opera but only for certain tabs. And I use Firefox for private browsing as Chrome isn't working for that just now. I think Chrome is the best browser now.

f you're using a search engine today to find a download of Firefox 7, be careful about the results you click on. That's because a dubious website called Firefox7.org appears high up in those results.

The site was discovered Wednesday by Sophos security expert Graham Cluely when doing a routine search on "Firefox 7."

Firefox7.org has no relationship with the browser's maker, the Mozilla Foundation, Cluely wrote in the Naked Security blog. The site is registered to someone in China named Xiaojuan Zhang, who lives in Shenzhen in Guandong province.

Where you all getting your FF7 from? And OP, do you operate any websites? :D

Thanks for your comments I had tried Chrome and it was good for video I couldn't seem to manipulate it when using groups of tabs, then there was the lack of plugin issues and the interface was a bit simple, needs a pro version.

Another thing on the Firefox when playing youtube or soundcloud for instance music would slow down while scrolling the browser.

How can you get rid of it? It's horrible.

Opera is nice ... doesn't do java very well but it is fast.

OMG Have I been had, well I'm glad I posted here first

+1

PIN THIS AS A WARNING IM SURE IT CAME IN AS A NORMAL UPDATE...

IT DID

I'm still running FF 3.6, it's served me well thus far.

I was running Firefox 3.X forever and it was working great... Then this website that I frequent stopped displaying correctly, and I had to upgrade to a newer version of Firefox to resolve the problem.. New version sucks penis.... Crashes a lot and is much slower....

I've been running Firefox 7 beta for a while now and haven't had any problems like that. It's faster for me than the older version.

Try uninstalling. Then download 7 [link to www.mozilla.org] and do a fresh install. It's like Windows. It's best to do a fresh install to avoid problems.

Here's a nice browser. Doesn't use too much memory like other browsers. So it's faster...
