Update: I’ve now decided that Firefox 3 is not reliable enough to use as my default browser so I’ve switched back to Safari. It’s extremely slow to connect to most sites, and sometimes it won’t connect at all while Safari connects and renders the page extremely quickly.

Update: I am still using Firefox as my default browser. Version 3.0.5 seems to run very stable although slower than Safari. However, the plethora (learned that word in college) of plugins and add-ons for Firefox keeps me using it. My favorite plugin so far is Site Launcher.

I just spent 20 minutes writing a message to a customer in our Basecamp site only to have Firefox crash about 30 second before the post was complete. I lost every bit of that work and now have to start over. The frequency of the crashes is starting to get a bit ridiculous. If this keeps up and no patches or updates are issued then I’m going to have to switch back to Safari – or (gasp!) Google Chrome.
