On: Firefox is back. It's time to give it a try

[arf]

I did give it a try. I used it like I use Chrome. Many tabs open and keeping them open for a couple of days. I did that a couple of times. It, of course, crashed every single time and for some reason made my 4GHz quad-core i7 with 64Gb memory freeze for 5 minutes where I couldn't even ^d in a terminal.

I keep FF open for weeks at a time with dozens of tabs, only 16 gigs of ram, no problem.

Interesting, I do the same -- dozens of tabs open in multiple windows, for multiple days, and it hasn't crashed in probably over a year.

Different machines, this one is: Intel I-6700-HQ 2.6GHz 4-core/8 logical 16GB RAM...

Same for me, and I even usually use Firefox Nightly with a Core 2 Duo, 4 GB RAM and nouveau graphics forced on in the about:config . . .

I keep it open for 6-7 days regularly and I don't have any problems. On a dated machine : i5 460m and 4 gb of ram.
