I love Firefox, but I hope the new version is more stable than 2.0.14. I’ve been using it since 1.something back in late 2004, but the latest release has been buggy for me. It hangs regularly for 30+ seconds, and it sometimes crashes or closes itself without any warnings. I never had any problems with any previous versions over a half-dozen computers and have been waiting anxiously for an upgrade that will undo these problems.

Either 13 or 14 kept crashing and messed up some of the Firefox extensions. I reverted to 11, which seemed to be more stable. Since then, it usually only crashes when I use an 'open page as IE' extension.

I hope 3 is more stable, but I am leary of trying it. I will probably do a CloneGenius image of my partition before trying it. That way, if it does damage, I can restore the current partition without having to reformat and reinstall Windows and all my programs from scratch. The CloneGenius activity takes about 40 minutes.
