is Firefox 3 that good?

I have been reading very good reports lately about Firefox 3. Most of them talking about how fast the new versions is it and how convenient for UMPC owners. But according to Paul’s Supersite Blog Firefox crashes more often than what anyone would consider normal.

I’ve been working on my Firefox 3 review lately and one thing I’m a little bit concerned about is the reliability of this product.

    I have tried all the betas, none of which I was very happy with. The RC is (no surprise) a big improvement.

    It runs pretty fast and slow for me on XP SP2, with better performance then 2, which is essential for me as I always have my browser running in the background.

    My main problem with the version is that most plug ins and add-ons are not FF3 compatible yet. Since one of the biggest reasons I use FF is the vast number of extremely useful add-ons, this makes it a bit of a efficiency drag for me during my work day. Suddenly many tasks that used to be easy...aren't. This is just compounded by the fact that the FF3 RC overwrote FF2 for me when I installed it.

    Clearly this problem will be lessened with time as indie developers catch up, but when you consider that FF is a jewel in the open source crown perhaps they could have made more of an effort to keep the dev community in sync with Mozilla's roadmap.

    I've been using it on my Mac for well over two months and it has been as stable as a rock. Meanwhile, I've had a Safari crash or two.

    I'm with others in the comments on his site: I suspect incompatible or buggy extensions/add-ons. I run with only two extensions myself, and both claim compatability with FF3.
  • Hmmm ... I'm using it on my work PC and my Mac OS X (10.4) laptop at home without any issues at all. It seems snappier than FF2 - especially the piggish Mac version.
