Have Firefox been less reliable these days, and have you switch because of Firefox crashes?

Yes, Firefox latest versions seem to use a lot of RAM, and is less reliable, and I am also tired of always upgrading Firefox every few weeks which can be a hassle to do, so I now use Opera Web Browser as my main Web Browser, and I experience less crashes, and faster speeds then Firefox even when multiple Tabs and Windows are open in Opera.

I also like Opera Mini Mobile Web Browser which I use on my Kobo Vox eReader Tablet because Opera Mini is simple to use, and seems like the fastest mobile web browser for me.
 
I used to be a Firefox user through and through...but all the recent changes have driven me to start testing out Chrome and seeing if I prefer Google's system....
 
Rockmelt is a decent Web Browser. It is like Chrome with a social twist which let you keep up with friends on Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube. It is based on the Chromium Open Source Web Browser, but with a social networking twist.

hows does GF look in opera? never really tested it out.


and I don't see how FF updates are tough. takes about a minute or two for me.

GF looks good in Opera.

FF Updates might not be tough, but new updates to FF sometimes make Plug-in/add-ons less reliable, and some Add-on makers might get annoyed by always having to update their add-ons to work with the latest versions, and users might get annoyed by FF updates breaking add-ons from working.
