Stability – can\’t remember the last time that FF crashed and I am running 31 (carefully tested) extensions.

I am now using Chromium as a back up browser. Also because of its raw speed I use it for opening a huge local html file(parses in 5sec not 25sec). But I cant see me moving full-time to it because of the reasons I have outlined above.

I don\'t want M$ screwing up Firefox because people are abandoning their pitiful \"browser\" </p> One thing important to me, is that Firefox needs a way to prevent the junk that Microsoft is installing in the browser as plugins without the user knowing about it.
