"Tool Bar is a Mess!!"
Version: Mozilla Firefox (Mac) 10.0.2
Pros
Has a lot of add-ons.
Cons
The toolbar copied Chrome toolbar..which a LOT of people..HATE.
Icons in the toolbarSummary
The toolbar needs preferences. Icons and the word 'bookmarks' take up too much space on the toolbar. Took the worse of Chrome browser.

"10.0.2 is terrible!"
Version: Mozilla Firefox (Mac) 10.0.2
Pros
(does work OK when it' not hung up trying to load a page.)
Cons
Constantly results in the "revolving cursor of death" on all sorts of pages where Safari and Chrome bring it up immediately.
Summary
WHERE can I get support on this mess! I attempted to at Mozilla but I have never received email they promised to log in.

"updates too quick off the draw shoots ME in the foot!"
Version: Mozilla Firefox (Mac) 10.0.1
Pros
I can't tell because it won't quit hanging after the latest upgrade that it downloaded of its own accord and didn't let me say NO!
Cons
Hangs my other apps while it constantly tries to install downloads.
Undoes all the work I went to, when I loaded extensions and add-ons, because new upgrades come so fast that the extensions/add-ons can't keep up and get turned off as "not compatible".Summary
DIDNT WE LEARN ANYTHING FROM THE BAD OLD MICROSOFT DAYS?! We complained with good reason when some external company shoved code down our throats breaking systems we could not afford to have broken. I SHOULD DECIDE WHEN I WANT TO TAKE THE RISK OF ADDON/EXTENSION INCOMPATIBILITY BY UPGRADING MY BROWSER VERSION!!! If I don't want the hassle right now, and you don't have any more compelling reason to upgrade immediately than you have ADHD, then I should be the one with the rights on my own machine!!

"No problems installing (several versions, I believe)"
Version: Mozilla Firefox (Mac) 9.0.1
Pros
I'm used to Firefox, and version 9.0.1 continues the experience.
Bookmarks, etc., transferred, as promised.Cons
Version 9.0.1 continues the experience: I don't see benefits from the update, which involves changing the add-on determining page appearance.
In general, Mozilla has an excessive number of versions, which they're not shy about announcing! My previous version was 6. -
"I am fed up of this soft !!!"
Version: Mozilla Firefox (Mac) 9.0.1

At every upgrade some extensions doesn't work. He Mozilla it's not only a game people like me have to work with teir browsers. I used Netscape in the past and since Firefox. But now I'll stop that.
Google Chrome and Safari are less versatile and more reliablre.Cons
As said below I am just fed up of this browser
