Firefox (0.9.x) is unstable
And it is why I was using Mozilla 1.7 for past couple of months.
FireFox 0.9 crashes on complicated pages which has flash animations and too many pictures. It happens on two of my computers. (Yes, I double checked the setup. It happens with and without plug-ins installed).
Goodbye FireFox for now. I love Mozilla 1.7.2.
Aren’t you experiencing what I experienced?
Mozilla 1.7b
Mozilla 1.7 beta has really impressed me by its features and performance.
Though its a beta, but its very stable and I haven’t discovered any bug yet. I like the new icon set and finally the “Smooth Scrolling” feature. It also feels much faster in terms of launching and also rendering web pages.
If you are interested, there is a long changelog available.
If you are still using IE, I strongly recommend you using Mozilla or FireFox. The reason is that IE is getting too old and Microsoft is not interested in updating its browser to support cutting edge technologies. My weblog, for example, looks much cleaner in non-IE browsers, despite I am using standard XHTML and CSS2 features. Its time to switch.

Mozilla Project now has nightly builds for FreeBSD on their FTP site site. Looks like FreeBSD is going to have an official binary with the next release of Mozilla Firebird.
Firebird 0.7 - finally!
Firebird 0.7, Mozilla 1.5 and Thunderbird 0.3 has been released all together.
Firebird is fast, simple and standard compliant. I am using it for a while without any major problem. If you are not familiar with firebird, take a tour here.
