Yes John. FF3 is little unstable than FF2. But I guess the recent FF releases are lot more improved than the previous versions.

I never had any problems with Firefox 2, but version 3 is very unstable, slow to load, slow to unload.

We’ve had problems with FireFox 3 crashing on Windows XP when loading PDFs in the Adobe Acrobat Reader plugin inside the browser. Adobe Reader 8 or 9 both cause the same issue. The browser did not crash in FireFox 2 loading the same PDFs.

We haven’t had any proxy issues with using the Microsoft Firewall Client for ISA Server.

FireFox 3 loads/renders pages much faster than FireFox 2. I don’t use the save tabs – so startup time is fast.

I too have noticed the firefox process remains running sometimes after I close firefox and I have to kill the process in task manager to startup a usable firefox instance.

Rafael,

I also did not have any crash, since I started using FF3. But the main problem for me is the load time.
