RE: Mozilla to end support for Firefox 2

D2 Ultima 26th Nov 2008

Well there have been numerous bugs with FF3, which a casual go-on-myspace/facebook type person would not encounter, but it has data handling issues, most addons that were compatible with FF2 were incompatible with FF3 for a long time, and some which I use have yet to be upgraded. While I will admit that FF3 has many new features and is great to use as well as looking very stylish, there are still a few kinks to work out with java, flash and streaming abilities (sometimes they fail to start and moving onto another web page causes the browser to crash). I stopped using FF2 because I thought FF3 would fix the memory issue, but it's still there. The browser has a tendency to just randomly close for no reason on Windows XP, and a significantly reduced chance of that on Windows Vista. I like some features of FF3 but I don't see much of a problem for those who are reluctant to upgrade. I'm not giving a reply really, just giving the good and the bad of FF3. This is using Windows Vista and Windows XP.
