Rant

I've always loved FF, no browser is up to it. But from version 4 till the latest nightly it's only been trouble after trouble. First 32 bit versions all consume an amazingly large amount of memory, independent of quantity of tabs opened. Then, 64 bit versions would do the same + hang constantly.

The 64 bit nightly builds seemed to have solved that, but now they are crashing my WHOLE computer all the time. This is getting very disruptive as I work with web development and a browser is my main tool.

This is getting soooo bad I'm almost switching to Chrome, and I hate it.

Just Please Fix It!

I'm using the 32 bit version to send this message as the nightly 64 bit will just crash my computer.
