I recently updated my mac with FireFox v-12.0 & it's Crashing a lot , wayyyy more than before the 12.0 update/upgrade..
- Has anyone else getting anything like this> ?? ?
Jeff,
I'm using FF13.0 seems much better but I'm not using Mac.

That's prolly the difference i reckon..happens mostly when in Admin Panel editing a StyleSheet/index.Temp..
i'm--lucky to have Safari browser
The thing is that FF use to crash allot on Win Vista, and with older version updates, but lately it's been working good, another thing I'm now using winz 8.
but maybe when you can get FF 13 for Mac... this may help!
I* use FF allot because I don't trust the others. I get too many infections... Winz you know how that goes.

Yeah,
I'll just wait on the next version..13
Sorry to hear that.
Works great with windows XP. :)
Good for you guys & your Winders.. >:D

Not completely my Bro... I just upgraded my Laptop to Unbutu 12.04 and let me tell you this in the best Linux Distro, I've ever tested.. it is very nice! In in the process of checking out all it can do!
And it's using FF 12.
But so far very nice very clean and very Free!

I saw something about Ubuntu a few years ago but didn't give it much thought.
Just checked out the new version and it looks pretty good. Come a long way from what I remember seeing.
Keep us posted on how it works out for you. They have a download that can be used alongside Windows I might try.
Yes my friend, they do and working good on my laptop and installing on my main PC this morning.
When booting up you can hose the OS that you want for the, UBuntu or Winz...I'm still well into the discovery mode, but have been testing and writing about this great OS for some time now..
I love testing software, lot's of fun!
I'll try later to give more details >>

Though I'm primarily using Google Chrome right now, I just upgraded yesterday to FF 12 and it looks pretty good so far. Today or tomorrow, it will be time to renew my Norton 360 so I'll be in or out.
Jim,
I was using FF 13, but had to got back to 12, because I could not view the Widget you placed on my test, did not find out until I installed the Ubuntu on my laptop, it comes with FF12!
So I think FF13 has some issues!
regards,
Maxx
Ah, yes, probably. I don't think it's public yet, is it?
I think it auto updated? or asked me to, not sure but I would not...FireBug works great with FF12..
I think FF maybe tryinh too fast to update their stuff!
regards,
Maxx
I've noticed that happens sometimes. When I look at my "About" on FF now, with 12 installed, it says it's up to date.
FF 12.0 => Crashed twice on me today , however FireBug does indeed work Great. :up:
possibly some complained and they are now holding back..I think even the 12 my have some crash issue, Jeff is not first to bring this up and it has happened to me..BUT now that went back to AVG... It alerts me of the amount of memory my browser use.
I went back to AVG, the Avast let me down and the AVG is much better now!
always trusted in more than any other!

Mac Safari does have a somewhat Web - Developer , nowhere close to FireBug , but helpful @ times.
SS:
I've been playing with FF 12 today some and haven't found any problems. If you remember, a while back, I did have a problem with a version of FF when I was using a large number of Group Tabs back when they first added those and FF crashed on me and I lost all the Group Tabs. That really ticked me off. Hopefully, they've solved whatever issue they were having as it totally wiped out everything I had saved at that time. If I ever decide to get back into experimenting with the Group Tabs, I know how to backup the file that saves all that stuff so I shouldn't have that problem again. Firebug does indeed work great with FF 12. Also, Google Chrome has a pretty nice set of Developer tools and is very similar to Firebug though I'm not attuned to using it yet as much as I am with Firebug.
As for AVG, I used it for quite a number of years quite awhile back but I did find it lacking. About 4 or 5 years ago, I started using Norton 360 when they first came out with it and I haven't looked back. I know it's got a little more overhead than AVG and some of the others but I like it better than Mcafee which I also used for awhile even though it costs me a little bit more than if I was using AVG. My Norton 360 expires in 4 days so I suppose I could look around to see what else is out there but I probably won't. It's probably not worth the effort that I would save switching at this point.

I think you should start a Mac section here for stuff you find and like ...sharing the word is a good thing my friend, and with you experience with Mac is the topping on the Cake!

Finally I had to go back to Version: 11.0 , not cashing at all now.
Glad you got one working bro, FF is tops for me!

Aren't we up to version 13.01 now?
Seems like every time I turn around there's another update.
