5 Reasons Not to Upgrade to Firefox 2.0

[ratedrsuperstar]

hey why are you crying dudes all that matters is ff's speed and who cares abt 60 odd mb when everyone has more or almost 256mb ram.It's like not upgrading to vista even if you have the requirements.

If you read my post then you would have come to know that Firefox uses 600+ MB of memory at times ... I have 1 GB of RAM but in the end I have only 80 MB free ram ... But I would try the gx's solution coz he didn't face any such problems

i found myself ff2 be a bit faster than 1.5.x and looks cool than the older one but not as cool as opera....im using it with no problem.

If opera gets extension architecture.....I will start using it. I dont like widgets. Firefox rocks for me only because of the extensions. It can do myriad of things.

4)Reports indicate that episodes of random freezing during use are worse with the 2.0 version, though a cause has not yet been isolated

Both of this reason and especially the last one which caused repeated crash of my FF 2.0 made me downgrade back to FF 1.5 for time being.

east or west FIREFOX is the best.
