    I'm using FF5 at home and FF6 at work. FF5 seems to crash a lot on youtube and porn sites where as FF4 did not. I'm more so waiting for FF7 when it uses 50% less memory and stays as such while you leave FF open for long periods of time.

    5 crashed alot starting 2 weeks, but only after "skip screen" addon got updated. I would start by uninstalling ALL add-ons and test... BTW, Chrome for me uses twice as much as FF. I don't even notice CPU/MEM usage anymore.

    FF5 froze/lagged a fair bit for me but not really seen that in FF6. Probably an incompatible addon that's caused FF6 to be better for me but meh lol

    I'm a little busy today but as of yet tomorrow looks a little lax.
    Respect my lack of authority.

    I've been using it for a few days now, it seems decent. Only two of my extensions broke.

    Can't say I am happy with them outrunning compatibility with my school's site, my new GPS, and a couple of other things I have wanted to do that required me to either use IE, go to another machine still running 3.6, or install 3.6 additionally on my PC. While I appreciate FF's ambitious work, the inconveniences so far outweigh any improvements I've seen.

    Yeah, scripts stopped working on couple of occasions, Has a little problem resolving DNS and proly not as reliable as it use to be, I have reverted to 3.6 and it's running like a charm.
