FireFox Review...

I would rather hack my cock off with an axe than use anything made by Google.
started using FF4 beta, thank god it didn't import any of my plugins, so now it's actually running pretty nice, similar to chrome
upgrade your machines retards. Knocks out your soundcard? WTF type of computer are you using?
I have had issues in the past with certain Anti-Virus affecting both video and audio. In the last couple weeks I upgraded to Eset and no longer have any issues.
Besides that, the possibilities are many. Conflicting drivers, poor or failing parts, rogue processes, etc.. If you basically live and work on your computer you should put some money towards a new high powered rig.
Oh yeah I wouldn't recommend the FF Beta, it's overall good but still running into some sites displaying poorly/not correctly and crashes. So if that isn't your type of thing, steer clear.
Agreed, I fucking hate having to restart FF every 2-4 hours. If chrome didn't have display and debugging issues I'd be off FF in a second.
I find fire fox getting a bit bloated but I also have a ton of plugins loaded in it. somethings it does nothing else comes close. for quick browsing I open chrome and then if I need to do anything with the site I open FF. IE is for updating windows, it sometimes fails to connect to that too...
I know it's got that whole javascript console and everything, but I find the net and script tabs in firefbug so much simple to deal with.
Edit: I could swear that developer tools thing was never there when I tried chrome six months ago. Thats pretty cool, I'll report back in a few if I change my mind on the debugging.
Our corporate email is currently hosted privately across 4 VM's which includes BES, exchange, and redundant AD. After switching to it in June we have so far had a total of 29 hours of downtime. I have 12 other domains on google apps hosting email, all of which have had absolutely zero downtime for well over a year now.
productivity > privacy
I've hosted email for the better part of a decade with almost 0 downtime. It sounds like your system administrator,isp, or both are complete fail.
Just played around with the developer toolbar in chrome for the better part of an hour. Dare I say I think I like it better than firebug.
Intermedia handles one account which tends to either lag up really bad or die completely about once a month for 30 minutes. Infinitely Virtual is the culprit of 29 hours of downtime. I was strongly opposed to both, but our CEO is an anti-google nut like half of this thread.
My email is still setup for an old client's intermedia account and I almost weekly get an "EMERGENCY MAINTENANCE REQUIRED, DOWNTIME POSSIBLE" email...get a different host, rackspace or linode or knownhost or something.
