Firefox 5.0 what to do is it safe to use?

[nak]

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

I updated. Really I dont see the difference.

But Chrome is safer and faster.

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

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

Im also in FF 5 gang - no problems

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.

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

[yellow0102]

I like Chrome and IE9

[Gamefreak]

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.
