I used to love firefox, but it started crashing on me.

First every week or so, then every couple of days, etc.

Now, it happens within 10 seconds-5 minutes of opening up the browser, with just one window, and one tab.

I've reinstalled firefox, updated all my add-ons, disabled every add-on (yes, everything.) uninstalled and re-installed flash (yes, I've disabled that too), switched from 32-bit to 64-bit (and back again.), run it in safe mode...

None of this made a difference.

Now, I have moved on to Chrome. I miss Firefox--bookmarks were better, searches stayed between tabs (and you could highlight one searched phrase, then search again), and the general layout was better.

I'll probably try to reinstall it again, just to check if a new version actually works for me now.

As for improvements to it, my biggest issue was that if you opened a ton of tabs\windows (to the point where it became slow), you couldn't speed it up again by just closing tabs\windows.

The only reason I can think this happens is that the tabs are kept in memory until you restart the browser. Perhaps I'm wrong, but if that's the case, couldn't you just keep a list of the closed windows\tabs page addresses, and re-connect to them?

As for general layout, I think the zoom in\zoom out (+ -) buttons should be on by default. I know ctrl +- does the same thing, but it's sometime easier to just use the buttons up top.

Saying you're 18 requires figuring out what during, during which year, you would have to have been born.

Three different things to choose.

Therefore, most people just say they were born in 1960 or something.

Actually, both the author and her publisher were extremely surprised it was successful--they thought it would be picked up by a niche audience, but never thought it become mainstream.

I have never seen a station using this "slip" system you're talking about.

You pull in to a pump (waiting in line if need be), then roll down your window.
