I never use tabbed browsing in FF. I do tend to use tabs in Opera, but as a concept, I consider it to be highly overrated.

I can't stand to browse without CTRL-click to open windows in the background and keep my placeholder page. I tend to read down a page and CTRL-click branching links so that they open but without me losing my place.

Firefox crashes fairly often on java heavy pages for me.

Just happened to me a few minutes ago with 10 tabs open. Had to do my Google search over and start again.

3) It's dropdown bookmarks are shown unsorted and cannot be corrected (or at least I haven't found a way of doing it.) Accessing a specific bookmark takes an extra click compared with IE.

It is annoying, but there are extensions that help and allow
- "Add bookmark here" (so you navigate to the folder and click that - two clicks to add a mark anywhere in your bookmarks structure).
- Sort bookmarks extension that still leaves a lot to be desired.

It is true that it is slower than Opera or IE, though.

Contrary to what you hear over and over again, I have to say that is my experience as well.

I expected my thread title would bring out all sorts of vehement denials. I'm pretty surprised with the way this thread has gone. Of course, typical WebmasterWorld, what might have been an "is so - is not" thread on many forums, has been real interesting here.
