    "It seems about the same as its predecessor."

    November 21, 2011  |   By engelesq

    Version: Mozilla Firefox 8.0

    Pros

    It works well, and it's not from Microsoft.

    Cons

    I never understand why the makers of all of these programs are constantly fiddling with them when the new version is not appreciably better than the old, but the user has to learn a different way to use some of the features. "If it ain't broke don't fix it."

    Summary

    See Pros.

    Pros

    Cons

    We are working together and working harder to make the most powerful browser than ever.

    2011- Maxthon forges new distribution partnerships with Fuhu and Kingston.
    2011- Maxthon Android Browser for Tablets is released.
    2010- Maxthon for Android reinvents touch screen mobile browsing. Maxthon browser reaches 500,000,000 downloads.
    Go with Maxthon 3 200x times faster then firefox want speed you have it with this browsers absolutely love it no white pages and works with all games all 4 other browsers firefox,google ,safari,and Opera either quit or had white pages real **** off staying with Maxthons forever !!!!!!! :) :)

    "It freezes after one minute!"

    November 20, 2011  |   By YouthCenter

    Version: Mozilla Firefox 8.0

    Pros

    I loved Firefox before this freezing problem and I will go back to it if it gets fixed.

    Cons

    I have used Firefox for many years and it was my favorite brower. I was "forced" by a message to upgrade to FF8 and it froze everytime after one minute.
    Then I upgraded to FF9Beta to see if the freezing would stop and it didn't.
    I went back and downloaded FF8 and same thing: it freezes after one minute.
    I am using now Internet Explorer 9 or Chrome and they both work fine but I would love to be able to use Firefox again.
