What version of Firefox do you use? Any intention of upgrading? / myLot

Do you usually tend to update your Firefox as newer versions come out? Or do you prefer to stick to your current version? I usually try to upgrade whenever newer versions appear, mainly because I know security breaches are often fixed between releases. However, sometimes the bloat that the browser has obtained over time annoys me, and I am less inclined to update. On the other hand, I am looking forward to an update this time, because Mozilla developers have mentioned that the Javascript engine was to be changed--and it was to be a lot faster.

Hi! FireFox is a web browser very much like (though some (including myself) would say much better) I.E. (Internet Explorer). You should start it up and take it for a spin around the internet. I think you will enjoy the experience. Compare the speed. It is typically far more secure than I.E. also.

Stick with Firefox 2.0 as long as you can, it has fewer bugs, works well and it's more stable. Of course if you like being a guinea pig, the try the latest version - good luck. You might as well try Chrome too, it's basic, fast and not too buggie.

I'm using Firefox 2. I have no intention to upgrade to version 3. I read some feedbacks about version 3 and it has a lot of bad comment from users about FireFox 3. It make the com slow and may have internet problem. So far, i am very happy with my current version of Firefox. Match perfectly with my needs. It has more gadgets compare to IE. recommended to all users..

I do not use firefox because my computer is slow. I use K-meleon because its faster and uses the same engine as firefox. The new update of firefox is fast compare to the older ones. It has a filter for spyware, updating firefox is easy it takes a minute to do that. It is recommend to update as I updated my k-meleon browser because of its improvement of security, bugs and less error:)

I'm using Firefox 3 and for sure will upgrade to the latest version when the time come. I'd tried IE 7 (or 8), but I'll say NO NO to M$.

I am a Firefox user for 3-4 years I think. On my laptop, which I use a lot, I have always the latest version of Firefox. On my desktop, which is pretty old, I have the latest version of v2.x.x branch. I am completely happy with Firefox, I've used lots of browsers. From Internet Explorer to Opera, and I've also used Chrome. I didn't like any of them. Firefox may have some problems with the ram (takes too much ram space), but I like the browsers features.
