Firefox 3.0.10 Out

And its fast

Download or check auto updates.

 

Wow, it does feel pretty quick. Almost Chrome quick..

 

dam man thx for the news the old one kept crashing on me when i pushed back buton. THANKS

 

Does this one not crash every 5 minutes? Seriously, this better work or I'm checking out Opera.

 

I guess I will go back to FF
I've been using chrome lately instead of FF... not sure why

 

Thanks for that. Can't see any improvements in speed, it was quick on my machine anyway. Hopefully though, it won't die when loading flash on yahoo now

 

Yeah Firefox been of their game lately........dont knoe yyyyyyyyyy hmmmmm

 

Does this one fix the issue where firefox uses a large percentage of CPU (up to 100%) for just being open after an extended period of time?

 

Scrolling is now smoother and faster. Awesome bar also loads quicker.

 

I can't imagine what anyone could do to screw up their system so badly that a simple browser crashes every 5 minutes.

 

Thanks for the heads up... 3.0.10 is much snappier than 3.0.9 or 3.0.8. To be honest I hadn't really noticed the performance degradation the older versions caused until I just upgraded!
I too have been having alot of random Firefox crashes, my windows reliability index and error logs are littered with Firefox crashes, while opera has never once crashed one me in the 3+ years I have been using it.

 

Download Firefox in your language http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html

 

there seems to be problems with flash/pdf in this version. 3.0.10 crashed twice already

 

im not too sure if its really that much faster

 

can't see it being faster, but i do have 20mb connection.


not bad for this time of day.
but can't see much change in the update

 

Everything else on my system runs 24/7 no problem. ~5 minutes is a bit of an exaggeration, but it is the only thing that crashes when I close the app.

 

It still crashes for me while visiting NBR.

 

Firefox has been crashing on me while browsing NBR since the update before this one. What is going on?

 

I agree; it doesn't seem any faster to me than 3.0.09 (not that I was expecting it to be).

 

3.0.10 has been a welcome improvement for me.

Once I'm finished with this semester though, I'll be doing a clean install on this system to get a fresh start for summer and fall classes.

Hopefully without all the bloat from the software that has built up over that time will help the performance.

 

Unable to view Flash movies on Youtube with this new update.

Maybe its time to look at Opera.

 

I have made Opera my default browser. FF has too many issues for me.

 

Odd. Firefox seems to have updated itself without asking me to do so. =/

 

In FF, got to tools> options> advanced> update. Then just check or uncheck the boxes for automatically updating, Firefox, installed add-ons and search engines.

 

i had this same problem.. sounds weird but just clear all of your private data and restart firefox.. after doing this i the issue went away, oddly.

 

I just installed this new version and have had no such problems.

Do you have the flash plug-in?

 

Sometimes when I am typing a comment or something, say on facebook or a forum, it really lags! I can type a whole sentence with nothing showing up, then boom it types a couple seconds later.

I have a brand new HP HDX18t, I know it's not anything on my laptop.

Anybody else noticing this?

 

Ok thanks. That worked. I'll give firefox another go, but if it randomly crashes or starts to use 100% CPU over an extended period of time. Opera stays for a long time.

How's Chrome these days? Been a while since I checked it.
