what do you do with 10 tabs? i start losing track of what im doing after around 4. i keep the cellar in one, my email in another, and 2 for surfing. i cant imagine needing 10.

mozilla crashes on me maybe 1-2 times a day. fair tradeoff, i think, for the features it provides (no unrequested windows!)

Galeon has an option where if it crashes, when you re-load it, it re-opens all the webpages that you had open when it crashed.

Mozilla hasn't crashed on me since 1.0RC1. Phoenix hasn't crashed on me yet. Chimera "unexpectedly quit" once. Dunno how you people are having such problems. :)

Yeah, I've been using Phoenix almost exclusively since it was released and I haven't had a problem yet. Mozilla seemed way more crash-prone, but that may have been from bloat.

By the way, for those who don't know - 0.2 of Phoenix is out. Go get it. :)

I get about one crash per week of Mozilla, with a *ton* of use.

It's far better than it was a year ago, when nightly builds would bring about one crash per day. For me, on reliability, it's on par with IE, no better no worse. (That's not considering security.)

My only problem with Mozilla is in how it renders pages. Even CNN, which has a banner showing its affiliation with Netscape on top, doesn't display correctly (although it does just fine in IE).

hermit22 - thats the fault of the page designer, not Moz. I'm with Ut - i get the occasional crash, but i use it every day a heap so. Once you've got the plugins going (which should be more streamlined or included really, it could be quite a turnoff for a newbie if they did not understand how to get flash) its a damn sweet browser.

i still use IE for onlien banking though, moz seems to utterly mangle it.

Have anyone else noticed that Mozilla would eat up all memory after being running about a week without restarting? I have a Mozilla 1.1 under Windows NT 4.0 at work running 24/7. It would eat up all available memory thus crashing all applications including the Mozilla itself.

jaguar 10-03-2002 02:03 AM

I've noticed it does go up if i left it for a few days, leaking somewhere, nothing too serious though.

So Dave, how ya liking 0.2?

Tabs
 
Since my connection is dismal, I have a habit of clicking on links and loading them in the background while I read a page. I've had many occasions where I have had 40 to 50 tabs of Mozilla open. I also suffer from "oh this is cool i'll click here" syndrome. When I still used IE I kept running into the limitations of the Windows taskbar.

Mozilla only crashes once every few weeks on me. A few days ago, I had the opportunity to watch on Win2k's Performance meters while Mozilla was crashing. It was pretty cool; everything greyed out inside the window and then Mozilla drifted upwards and upwards in memory usage for approximately a minute until it spat out an error and died.

dave 10-03-2002 03:01 PM

Liking it quite a bit. I use it for browsing at work and at home (except on Mac OS X, where I use Chimera, which is a stripped-down Mozilla for... Mac OS X :) ). It's definitely faster than Mozilla, and it's been plenty stable for me so far, so no complaints.

I also dig that I can customize the toolbar (almost) exactly how I want it. Now if I could make the location bar shorter and add bookmarks to the main toolbar, life would be complete. Hopefully in 0.3 or 0.5 or something. :)

version 0.3 is out. seems faster to me, at least so far.

Tobiasly 10-17-2002 07:25 PM

I'm using 0.2 on my laptop. Seems pretty stable so far, but I miss some of Mozilla's features. Looks like it's maturing quite nicely though.
