I’m up to the latest beta 3.5b99 Firefox – still stable.

Firefox crashed more often than IE for me until a few days ago, when IE started crashing a lot more for some reason.

Sorry to hear you are suffering such frequent browser crashes. Can’t remember the last time my Firefox crashed … about once a month on average – usually when I’m experimenting with something or the other. Even then, click ‘firefox’ and click ‘restore tabs from last session’ and it’s back up in 5 seconds… nothing lost.

Individual processes are coming in about a year (which I have a feeling you already know) but it’s really a non-issue for me since it already runs so fast and stable.

I don’t know if it is hidden somewhere but I did not see tabs running as individual processes added. Chrome and IE8’s tabs are individual processes. If one crashes it doesnt take the browser with it. Is this in FF3.5 or is FF still playing catch up?

I’ve been running the betas on my test computer (an older Dell laptop) for a while with no problems and a couple days ago I installed it on my Computer and my wife’s. Both running XPSP3. Had to tweak a few add-ons for version number and now all works fine. Stable and nothing buggy.

I’ve never had a good experience with Betas. And that is why I try to stay away from them.

I tried Opera 10 and Safari 4 recently; both proved to buggy for me to handle.
