Firefox 1.5 Stability Problems? Readers And Mozilla Respond | |
|
||
| Time: 00:00 EST/05:00 GMT | News Source: InformationWeek | Posted By: Robert Stein | ||

Before we get too far down that path, however, let's put things in perspective. More than 60 percent of the people who responded to our request for personal experiences with Firefox 1.5 reported they had no problems whatsoever with the browser software. And there is absolutely no statistically valid way to draw any hard conclusions about how many people are having stability issues with Firefox 1.5 based on this small sample size. At a rough guess, the number of people experiencing serious problems is probably well under 10 percent of all the people who have downloaded and installed Firefox 1.5. | ||

Personally, I have had the same problems with Firefox 1.5. I have Maxthon wrapper loaded for IE and never get crashes in it. My Firefox 1.5 freezes up and crashes randomly on different sites. It's memory usage is also very high after browsing for sometime. As alternative browsers go I think Opera is the better option. It is fast, stable and I have never seen it crash. Then again I don't use it full time. This post was edited by kaikara on Thursday, December 22, 2005 at 07:27. |

Where were all these people when the betas and RCs were out?
The only issue I've had with 1.5 is it hung when I aborted loading an embedded multimedia clip, but I've had IE crash when I've done the same thing in the past. |

| I get random crashes, and they are much more frequent than I got durig the betas. |

The average person doesn't have the time to run or beta test for a product. They want something that works and usually will only run final releases. Myself - I had loaded the RCs but had not used them heavily until the final version. I have enough problems that I don't use 1.5 as my primary browser and use maxthon/IE. I keep Opera and Firefox for testing purposes though and think they have great components - extensions on firefox for one. But until it runs better for me I will keep using IE/Maxthon and my primary browser.

| No problems at all. 8 extensions. Still see no reason what-so-ever to go back to IE. Tabbed browsing, gestures, ad-block have me hooked |

I only had 2 extensions loaded when I was trying to use it. Ad Blocker and TAB preferences. Both very common extensions. But as the article states if they allow extensions and it causes instability then Firefox is the one that is going to look like it has problems. |

| No problems with 1.5. |
| #11 By 32132 (142.32.208.231) at 12/22/2005 1:01:00 PM |
| I find it sad that all the Firefox apologists are pretending they don't have any problems. |
| #12 By 3746 (216.16.225.210) at 12/22/2005 1:01:53 PM |
| As a test I removed all extensions - removed Firefox - cleaned up an leftover files. Reinstalled fresh with no extensions. I used it for about 1 hour and was getting freezing issues and it was using a lot of memory by the end. So it doesn't look like a extension issue for me. Not a computer issue as I have just about the fastest computer you can get and all other programs run buttery smooth. Like i said it might be spotty issues but if it doesn't work for me then it is off to another browser i go. |

| The Fox works fine for me on both Windows and SuSe (same machine) with four extensions. |
| #14 By 20505 (216.102.144.11) at 12/22/2005 3:37:32 PM |
| BTW - I am reading these posts in one on a dozen tab in FF 1.5, furthermore 1.5 works much better specifically with this site than 1.06. |

I had trouble with 1.5 on OS X. Clicking on the menus did nothing, I couldn't open a new window, and would be forced to Quit and relaunch.
I deleted the preference file and tried again, no problems since. |

At the same time, you also have to rein yourself in and stay mainly focused on business related topics. You have to find the right balance, and with practice you'll discover it. You should not, however, blog about anything that you wouldn't write in a business email.
