I use Firefox on Linux and don't have any problems. You also need to consider your computer and how much ram you have, which can make a bigger difference than the browser you use.

Anything but IE. I used to be a big Firefox fan, but now I'm a Chrome devotee.

your not the only one,,,,  firefox does ok in here,,,  but in facebook it does crash alot.   I'm not a fan of crome either. and Internet explorer won't work with my Vista :(  So if someone can come up with something else I would appreciate it also :)

Facebook is a problem because of their lousy coding.  I get javascript errors on Facebook every couple of minutes, sometimes more.  These errors lock up the entire browser and no matter how hard you try to tell Facebook about it, you're IGNORED.  I tried Chrome on Facebook, too, same difference.  I'll stick with my Firefox.  As long as you keep the browser, plug-ins, and extensions, updated, you shouldn't have a problem.

Chrome's just so-so to me, and Internet Explorer I wouldn't use if they paid me to use it, LOL.

Now there's a challenge, if they offered me enough I would be all over IE!

I like firefox, I have used it for years and have not had any problems with it at all. I have used IE in the past but, it has a tendency to be slower than firefox.

I use Google Chrome most of the time, unless I'm doing my searches. Then I use internet explorer for my fusion cash searches unless it's performing poorly and then I use firefox.

If you are just doing your regular work on fusion cash and not doing searches, you might want to try the Opera browser. It's free and I haven't had much problem with it when doing things on fusion cash.

Another tip, if your browsers are having problems with constant crashing or anything else your computer might be infected with a virus/spyware, have registry issues where a format or cleaning is required (get a pro's advice before attempting to do it yourself due to the sensitivity of the registry) or just have a lot of junk files. You can use ccleaner to clean junk from your computer as the regular version is free and you can also clean more junk by typing %temp% in the run box on windows and deleting all that is in that folder. Hold Ctrl & click A to select all the files. Once you are done with that type Prefetch in the run box and delete all the files. That should help as well, but please know all the files won't be truly removed until you restart your computer.  Also make sure to defrag your computer whenever it needs it. Cleaning the temp, prefetch etc should be done at least once or twice a month.

You can get free assistance in spyware and virus removal by going to forums like spywarewarrior.com, whatthetech.com, geekstogo.com and pcpitstop.com. Help is given as the helpers are available since they have many cases to work on. If your computer is having too many problems or a really tough virus it may need a complete format and software installation. This may not be your problem, but if it is then I hope this helps you. My computer was slow, had browser issues and other problems which didn't improve until I got help and did a format. If your computer is under warranty you can usually call the manufacturer to help you troubleshoot your issue.

       I use the Internet Explorer. Then, I Google whatever I need: FusionCash, Facebook, CNN News and I never have any problems with it. I use an Dell desk top set-The best I know!
