"Absolute garbage, I have come to hate this software."
Pros: runs google software
Cons: becomes nearly unusable after more than one window is opened
Summary: I cannot count the times this piece of garbage has crashed my mac, causing me to restart and lose what I was doing. It slows down itself and your computer exponentially as you open more windows or tabs to the point of unresponsiveness. Anyone with a mac would do well to use Safari whenever possible. My experience with Firefox has been frustrating and enraging. This thing is horrendous.

I went back to 2. Fox3 is an absolute POS, It acts like kindergarden beta.

And you tried it on how many Macs? I have installed and run FF3 on 5 of my own personal Macs and seen it running smoothly on at least 25 Macs at work. NONE of these has had the problems you describe, and this is on a mix of both PPC and Intel hardware, running both OSX Tiger and Leopard.
Incidentally, I have never seen a browser crash OS X and I work on a lot of them. Something is clearly wrong with either your machine, install of OS X, or ability to use a computer! -
You seem to be incredibly demanding. And one can only imagine the awesome stuff you do with all those windows working. But that kind of rage would be more interesting if accompanied with some technical information, such as the type of OS, hardware, and the kind of experience you have. How did you configure Firefox? Was there smth wrong with your installation? What kind of connection do you have? I know Safari well... and I have the feeling that your testimony is wildly exaggerated. But, that's okay. At least, be happy.

First of all, it's because you use Mac. In one word, Mac is... horrible. HORRIBLE! You probably would want to say what about Windows. First is probably security or BSOD as in blue screen. Windows try to increase security but hackers and malicious code builders are the one who are making Windows seem to suck horribly. BSOD? Well, thats something that I don't feel like talking about... Too bad.
