Upgraded from Firefox 8 which worked great to Firefox 9. Browsing all sites became significantly slower with more intensive sites becoming almost intolerable. Installed Firefox Aurora and it’s the fastest I’ve ever browsed.
Just a heads up.

Switched to chrome (for about the 4th time) a few weeks ago and this time it stuck. All the other times I went back to firefox because I found places where chrome was lacking but google seems to have finally got all the bugs out.

I have switched from Firefox to Chrome back when it got really bloated maybe Firefox 7? I love Chrome since it uses its own flash too so it helps the battery on my MacBook Air.

Gotcha, that has been a issue for them for a while. But it doesn’t seem happen to everybody. They even had a program called FF plumber I believe that would stop it from happening.

My thoughts are there a multiple companies that make browsers you shouldn’t be pushing out something that has memory leaks.
Technically chrome is also more secure then firefox

I still use FF. I was with chrome for a while but then went back. The one thing I don’t like about chrome is the auto updating feature.

Chrome is that skinny girl that if you wanted to fatten up, you can feed her as much or as little as your want.
Firefox is that fat girl that will always be fat.
Opera is that semi cute girl that sits in the corner and no one really knows much about or wants to talk to.
IE is just that annoying girl that just shows up and no one wants to tell her no one likes her.
