New Browsers, Loads of Crashes
I’m testing Internet Explore 8 beta to see what’s new, and currently using Firefox 3.0 for general browsing. IE8beta1 crashes quite a bit, and it’s not playing well with Visual Studio 2008. Clicking on ‘Stop Debugging’ on VS2008 gives me this:
What’s weird is that it shows up in the latest IE I run, and not the one VS2008 started for debugging. It also likes doing this:
Unexpected? I closed it on purpose, thank you.
Not to be outdone, Firefox 3.0 loves showing me the ‘Mozilla Crash Reporter.’ Why isn’t it more stable than version 2.0?

Worryingly both have very weird results for me. My FF failed to fetch a RSS from SEDO and crashed several times. I had to delete all rss feeds. Almost same results with IE BETA and even it failed with fetching RSS feeds.
firefox 2 is much more stable than the newest one. luckily, i'm still using it for the daily use and haven't yet interested on FF3 :D

I miss the old firefox version 1. Every since the Version 2 came out, everything became messed up, I have a problem with flash sites. My browser just dies sometimes, and all my work is lost. Is there anywhere you can download old firefox version?
I'd like to point out, that Firefox also thinks that your session ended unexpectedly like IE, when you just X close the browser window.

So far, I think Firefox 3 is not bad.
Maybe you install too many plugins.
I think you should remove unnecessary plugins for now because FF3 is still new. Give some time for the developers to upgrade their addons and plugins.
I agree it's not bad.I don't have any unnecessary plugins installed. I actually don't remember having any installed on FF3.
Well, the new firefox is just trouble maker. the old one was more stable..i notice.oh well..

I haven't upgraded to FF3 yet. Thought I'd wait a little while until all the dust settled. Reading this I'm kinda glad I did!

I have faced the same problem like you, but older version(FF2) is working properly. I think FFox will rectify this problem as earlier.
i once updated to firefox 3 but it gave me a lot of problems sometimes 4 times per day crashes and last crash took all bookmarks of mine and left me screaming since then i turned back to firefox 2 which seems much much stable. IE8 also out gona give it a try
