This is getting really old

I've once again moved to another browser. This time, it's from Firefox to Opera. Why? Because Firefox's last update pretty much killed it. The flash plugin for it is now officially almost unusable. If I try to watch something on blip, I pause it to let it buffer, and I come back to play it only for it to freeze. So then I have to close Firefox after telling it several times to close without it actually closing it. Watching any video on Youtube and BlipTV on fullscreen will just cause it to go to an nonfunctional fullscreen mode with the computer's bottom bar still up. If Opera fails me, I'm likely screwed.

EDIT: Okay, I'm in fullscreen again, this time on Opera...the bottom bar is still there.

Does every browser in the world have to suck the ass hair of an old man in his 80s?

Just do what I do. Keep using Firefox version 2 forever and when it can't handle certain sites, blame them instead of the browser. Properly made websites (like this one) work just fine!

You can kill off the plugin-container.exe that corrresponds to Flash to regain control of Firefox if Flash crashes. This happens to me a lot, but only when I have much open and Flash is using an enormous amount of memory.

I couldn't read your comment because too much sunlight was being reflected by my Chrome.

I think I have that plugin and Youtube's working well for me.

I agree with Paul. I never update my browsers.

I object 
I personally switched to Chrome only a few days ago because I found Firefox to be way too slow. I still like the Firefox GUI best, but sites were just becoming hideously slow...

I'm forced to update on Firefox for some reason, so now I'm on Opera. So far, no problems. Let's keep it that way. >_>
