I just switched to Safari because the latest version of Firefox for Mac is so buggy and I was using Safari for most downloading-related tasks anyway. It seems a lot more stable. What's your browser of choice?

Firefox: Adblock Plus, GameFOX, Greasemonkey, linkification, and text-to-image are some of my favorite add-ons.

The only time my browser seems to crash these days is when I go onto somebody's facebook page that has like 100 extra applications. I've normally got 10-15 tabs open at any time.

I use Firefox 2 on Vista (Firefox 3 was too unstable). Adblock Plus and FoxyTunes alone make it worthwhile.

I would use firefox, but it screws up with everything related to flash. So I use explorer most of the time.

Ugh, I've been using firefox for mac but it crashes so much, sometimes I just switch to safari cause it always works. For a short while I used camino, I'm not sure why.

I have Firefox and Explorer both on this computer, but Firefox usually crashes.. so I tend to stick with Explorer. Never used Safari.

This poll is almost forming an obscene gesture.

i mostly use safari, but also have firefox (for mac) for things that safari isn't supported for. however, i use safari over firefox simply because i like it better, not because of any stability issues.

I use firefox and it never crashes. But I don't use any add-ons or keep a terrible number of tabs open. I generally use 3-5.

edit
I must have jinxed it. Firefox crashed on me for the first time yesterday.
