Firefox Turns 5, But Worked Better When It was 2

It's Firefox's 5th anniversary! I'd be in a more celebratory mood if Firefox was better. C'mon, let's be honest here: it's been a while since Firefox was really all that reliable. It crashes more often than a bumper car, and it's slower than a snail on GHB.

Designer Grace Smith sparked the question, "which web browser would you marry?" Turns out that people start out dating Firefox, but then find out that it's too high-maintenance, and that the love just isn't there after a while.

I’d marry Chrome; She’s fast, mentally stable, up-to-date and doesn’t require 100% of your resources to run a la Firefox.

I’d marry firefox. Sleep with chrome and snog safari.

I'll add a Twibbon to my Twitter profile if Firefox fixes its laundry-list of performance issues, mkay? I want to love you Firefox, but sometimes you just don't let me in.

I currently use both Chrome and Firefox. Chrome is super fast, and Firefox is mad slow and crashes every other hour, we all know that. However, chrome 3 and chrome 4 (dev) are both seriously lacking in functions. For example, my brother tells me that he can't access Gmail on chrome. WTF?

As for myself, while I can access Gmail on my chrome, I have major issues subscribing to RSS links or even copying them. I tried to copy an RSS link today off WFAN, and it wouldn't even let me copy on Chrome. I had to open Firefox to get the RSS. What a joke.
