I have had consistent problems with Firefox 3 hanging up on pages — and I have to do a [Ctrl][Alt][Del] to unfreeze it. I never had troubles with Firefox before version 3 and from scanning the internet, it appears that a LOT of people are having problems with it. Too bad — it sort of tarnishes the reputation that Firefox had built up over the years as being more stable than Explorer.

If by the last sentence you believe that IE8 is better than Firefox 3 then I have to disagree with you somewhat. IE8 is still very unstable as it is in beta. Firefox 3 is currently far superior to IE8.

In response to point 1, in our experience, we have had no problem with this.
Point 2, we don’t actually use any Live services.
Point 3, really depends on the person, we love it. (Apart from its name, “Awesome bar”)
Point 4, we were led to believe that actually they have worked hard on improving memory usage, although we haven’t really looked in detail.
