I offically hate Mozilla Firefox

When this first came out a few years back it was a cool Internet Browser that offered a bit more than the regular Internet Explorer (that thing can burn in hell too.) and it was cool to be able to download extensions. However with each "upgrade" Firefox got, the worse it would run on my laptop until finally Firefox 4 came out, and that P.O.S. crashes on me all the time for no reason. It can crash on opening, on going to random pages (often teasing me, "Yeah, I'm gonna work... see.. I'm loading... SIKE!") or crash when I'm just looking at it funny.

I guess I'm making the move over to Opera, even though alot of pages refuse to be compatible with Opera (The Wiki editor here for one). 

Anyone else have trouble with Firefox 4?

Good grief I put alot of paranthesis on this topic. 

Thus is why I like Google now. Go to google, they will own you and take care of you. =-P

Use Chrome.

Google Chrome FTW chum

Use Chrome.

 
If you don't care much for addons , I suggest you download Nightly , its the nightly build of Firefox that gets updated daily so you don't actually need to wait for an official release to fix stuff for you.

I downloaded Google Chrome. I occasionally use it because it is faster, but I'm sticking with Mozilla Firefox. :)

I used to use Firefox and now I use Chrome and never looked back. Unless you use a ton of addons, then Firefox is the way to go.

Get a better computer? Firefox 4.0 runs incredibly smooth and trouble-free for me. I'm also on a mid-spec notebook.

Upon your reccomendations, gonna give Chrome a whirl, what about it makes it so much better than everything else?

I personally have not had FF4 crash on me yet, try re-installing and disabling add-ons etc. and see if it fixes the problem. If you are still having problems i would also recommend Chrome if you are going to a new browser.

I never liked the Firefox GUI I prefer IE's and Chrome's GUI.

I haven't had much difficulty with Firefox 4, though my computer isn't the best to gauge performance considering how old and sluggish it is.

Use chrome its much better 

I haven't had any problems with FF4. Not quite as fast as Chrome, but tabs belong under the navigation bar, goddammit.

How is the rest of your laptops stability/performance?
General system stability/performance can degrade relatively quickly on a laptop.
 
Personally I don't like Chrome, it's a bit too ... pushy?
And Google is starting to wiff of monopoly and muscling around, a tad much for my taste.
Only use Chrome for work currently.

FF4 works just fine for me.
Chrome works well too.  You probably have an add on that is causing it to crash.  Run it in safe mode and see if it is more stable.

yea, firefox crashes all the time. it's a pretty common complaint. 

Use firefox, no problems. Only issue is the memory, and that's after several days of being on.

Pale Moon is where its at.

I just miss having an adblocker that actually blocks ads. Unlike the POS things on Chrome.

Firefox is great. Not quite as good as Chrome, but it's still a great browser.

With every update to Firefox I lean towards IE more and more. And Chrome is just a total joke.
Of course I keep using firefox because I'm a lazy cunt and it's my default browser, and all my porn bookmarks are on it.

Use Lynx. All your problems will disappear!

I hate firefox too, sadly for me its either this or internet explorer.  For whatever reason the internet doesn't work properly on chrome on my router.

Yeah Chrome is my favourite browser right now.

I'm one of those people who wants to make it as difficult as possible for Google or other large companies to track my internet usage and "craft a web just for me." I think that is bullshit, and because of this recent trend, I very rarely use Chrome. I use Firefox in "permanent private browsing mode" and I have never had any technical issues with it. I've also already gone through a lot of configuration on my Adblock Plus and NoScript extensions and it would suck to have to do that all over again.

I love me some FireFox.

Use OPERA. It's basically what Firefox once was. 

And it's comforting knowing you're not in bed with the evil corps of MS, Apple and Google.

Stay Indie, stay true.

Got back to Firefox 3 until they fix it.  I had to do that on my laptop.

FF 4 has been crashing me a lot the last couples days, or at least locking up for several seconds. But I still like the look and use of a Homepage button.

Using Aurora, the Canary of FF. Feels like it got back to the snapiness lost in FF4.

No issues with firefox here, love it to death.

AdBlock works great in Chrome. It acts a bit funky on some websites that have flash-like inlays on their pages. It tends to block those.

Firefox 4 works perfectly fine for me. It crashes maybe once every 2 weeks tops.

Firefox used to crash a lot but with FF4 it works just about perfectly. It doesn't load sites as fast as Chrome but I use add-ons so I'm sticking with it.

Anyone else have trouble with Firefox 4?

I went to Chrome right away and never looked back. Actually that's not true, I still keep up with updates to IE and Firefox, but they just don't out perform Chrome for me.

@KailenWolfe: Its faster and has a better UI 
 
Also this

I'm stuck with a laptop that was manufactured in 2003; 256 MB ram can barely let me do anything. Firefox 4 runs fine on it. I've tried Chrome and IE on it and they break down upon opening more than a tab, while on this here Firefox I can have around 8 tabs up at all times with no major problem.
 
You're probably having issues with your Firefox because of add-ons. I keep to flashblock (so I can have YouTube tabs up without them playing) and adblock along with session manager. 
 
At least this laptop can run solitaire OK, heh.

I use Chrome after having many issues with Firefox 3. The jokes it makes when something crashes (like a video it will say "The video player done broked.") make me forget to be made when stuff does go wrong (though it's a rarity for me).

I've had no problem with Firefox 4. I used to trade off with Chrome for speed at times, but that isn't necessary anymore. Firefox with AdBlock Plus and NoScript is the best browser combination I can think of.
 
I used Opera for a little while and then stopped when I saw how badly it choked on mainstream websites.

Firefox 4 works perfect on my PC running Windows 7 and it also works perfect on my laptop running Snow Leopard.

I use the latest versions of Chrome and Firefox and I've never had much trouble with either.  Sometimes Chrome has crashed video feeds, but that's all.  Nothing bad so far with Firefox 4.  I like my Firefox extensions.  

I use RSS feeds, so I can't use Chrome.
