Firefox 5.0 what to do is it safe to use?
 

Is it safe to upgrade to the new firefox 5.0 or should i just keep using the older one i am using now.

I love Firefox - I'm currently running 4 and I don't think it will hurt to keep running 4 until 5 has been around for a few weeks. Just my opinion - if it aint broke, don't mend it
:pop2:

I updated. Really I dont see the difference.

But Chrome is safer and faster.

How is chrome safer

I think he's talking about incognito

Chrome is the wort browser google records everything they said it themselves!

IE9 suckaz...and Opera is pretty solid.

Chrome has translate and seems to have a better resolution?

Made this a sticky.....

What is happening about the supposed 'leaks'? Will this new version of FireFox be better?

tbf, I'm using FF 3.xxx on a treasured account.

Then I take pills and wear a tin foil hat too :yar:

Mine automatically updated to Firefox 5 - all good (cannot see any difference TBH)
:pop2:

Im also in FF 5 gang - no problems :fight:

FF crashes my computer constantly. Also most of my friends. No particular reason,just crashes.
Chrome never did that as of yet. For stealth Im pretty sure Chrome is not a good idea but personal use it is great. Plus it is faster.

if you use add-ons then it is best to update, as they can sometimes stop working/ conflict otherwise..

I dont use chrome, it tends to take over links and applications....

I find Chrome slower than FF.

From what I've read on tech blogs, Firefox 5.0 is more like Firefox 4.1, and the jump to 5 was mostly a ruse to get more publicity. Firefox 5 was supposed to fix "some" memory leaks, but users are still stating that the browser is using 1.5 gb - 2gb Ram with only a few pages open during the day.

Personally, I love Chrome! It's fast, lightweight, and simple. I do switch back and forth between Firefox and Chrome on my VM's when making ghost accounts, but for my regular browsing I use Chrome's Canary build. If you're a Chrome enthusiast like me you should check it out! The Canary build is where they test new features before the mainstream gets them. However, it's not even considered a beta build so it crashes quite a bit.

In regards to Stealth and Ghost accounts, Firefox 5.0 should be a stable upgrade, and your plugins shouldn't break because it's more like a jump from 4.0 to 4.1 than to a radical new version of the browser. Most of the new features are for developers than for the public. Like more CSS, HTML 5, an Javascript support.

America Online SUCKAZ! 56K FTW!

It's just a matter of time before a browser flamewar breaks out in this thread lol

I like Chrome and IE9

Chrome FTW. I never use a new browser when it comes out. Let the hackers get the major flaws out first then I hop on board.

Firefox 5 does not crash unlike Firefox 4. So if have 4 upgrade if crashes daily. If have 3 keep it until must upgrade. Even though getting use to 5.

I switched to firefox from IE6 back in 2004 or so. Never looked back since. Never had problems either unless I had way too many add-ons lol

Simmer down 'Dino ha. I use IE7 sometimes IE8 on the other computer. Think I have an old version of Firefox - I seem to like the older editions.
