      I personally think these latest builds of Firefox 3.5+ and later are a joke. It’s a big memory hog, takes forever to boot up and is constantly crashing whenever you have multiple tabs open or extensions running. Of course IE8 does this when you try to load a youtube video sometimes! LOL. But i’ve noticed IE8 crashes a lot less often than Firefox does. As for Chrome it doesn’t crash as nearly as often as Firefox and the only time i’ve noticed it crash is due to incompatibility reasons. I really like Chrome the best but if IE9 is going to run just as fast as Chrome and offer stability I’m switching back to IE. And I haven’t been a fan of IE since 6.

      I have found that you can enhance your FF experience by clearing out your temporary files and cache every so often even though it does prefetch data firefox has a problem when the browsers paging file because so large. Also disabling extensions helps. Part of what makes Google Chrome great not only its lightweight browser but the process isolation as well. Each tab runs independently of each other in a new process. If you open up chrome and open up a new tab you’ll see two “chrome.exe” processes. So if one tab is going memory crazy and crashes it doesn’t effect your other tabs running and the whole browser itself doesn’t shut down. You can use Chrome’s task manager to kill a unresponsive tab but it doesn’t kill the window. You have to manually close it yourself which makes no sense. If you’re going to kill the process altogether why not just close the window altogether?

      Yeah the new Firefox 4 beta browser is a complete rip-off of Opera’s interface.

        Man, I sure hope IE9 won’t be copying the UI layout that other browsers seem to be heading towards, with the weird menu button and tabs above the address bar.
