Firefox has no more problems than Mozilla itself does... No reason to switch to Mozilla now.

It's not that big a deal, just report the error and wait for the fix. For me the additional features and customization options are worth putting up with minor errors.

Hey if it's serious why not read this page and see if you can be bothered to report it.

After all, at least this Company doesn't think Bugs are a "Feature."

I got it working it again. I had to completely unistall and re-install it.

One would expect Firefox to have more problems than Mozilla, since Mozilla has been in stable public release long before Firefox was even concieved. Firefox basically is Mozilla with everything not needed to look at webpages stripped out. So basically the past year or so has been devs weeding out dependencies left behind and some efficiency improvements. Any bugs that are part of the Gecko core would be fixed in both simultaneously, so it would seem that Mozilla would be the most stable Version ready for the public. And in fact, it is.

There really is no reason not to choose Mozilla over Firefox for basic web usage. Myself, I like the weekly builds, so... Firefox. Plus I still have a predjudice about taking up lots of hard drive space from my first computer's 400MB drive back around 1994, and I don't use the rest of the Mozilla suite. I don't need to worry about excess space usage any more (two 40GB drives and a 200GB drive), but it's still there (possibly because of the 20MB limit on my University server account

Gmail works fine with my Firefox, both at work and home. Do you have the newest Version of FF? ALso reinstalling it would be a good idea.

It might have just been a windows XP crap out too. God only knows why programs die.

I'd blame WinXP. Why? Because I always blame WinXP! :-D Honestly though, Firefox used to crash on me every single time I tried to go to a certain website (daz3d.com, if you're wondering), and kept crashing even after several deletions and re-installs. It was only after I formatted the drive and reinstalled everything that I was able to get to the site again. Ergo, I blame Windows.
Maybe not logical, but fun!

No, a good debugger knows why!
System dumps rule!

Hi!
I using this thread to avoid start a new one for such a small
question:

I started using Firefox browser I like it, you have to learn its ways (I was using Slim Browser, based on the IE engine).

It seems to be more stable, AND I like to give the finger to Micro$oft guys who thinks than any file have to be 100 Mb+ to be of some use!!

Questions are: Anyone knows in which folder are stored the bookmarked links?

Can this folder be re-imported to the Ie favourites folder?

Thanks!!
