I have a love/hate relationship with the Firefox browser. We've discussed it here before, but there are new developments.
I love its features and usability. But several months ago, I got really disgusted at it's poor performance and memory management. And when I found an old Firefox 3.6 installation file in my download folder, I installed it. MUCH more responsive than the then-current (10? 11?) version. I used it for about six months.
But recently, it started to be a liability. Too many websites wouldn't run on that outdated, almost a year old software! So I reluctantly updated to the latest, version 12.
As Gomer Pyle might say, Surprise, Surprise, Surprise! This latest version of Firefox, v12.0, is running like a champ! At least, it has for the first couple of days. Fast, slick, and very responsive. Maybe it will suck again after a week of accumulating errors, issues, and memory fragments; I really don't know. But for now, I am impressed.
Anyone else have relevant experiences to share?
