I just don’t know why firefox 3.1 or 3.0.1 (forgot about it because i uninstall it) always make my computer blue screen, hang, and restart on it self.

I have also this problem with firefox version 2.0.1 and now on ff 3.01 weird.

Firefox was my favorite browser but few days ago not anymore, so just try flock few moments ago and work well. No any sign of blue screen yet and I think will never be..

I am using Flock only since a few months now. I switched from Mozilla. Mainly because it was faster.
Then I found a few neat social and blogging features I like.
If they start making things slower and more complicated I’m off to the next thing that works Best for me.
*shrugs*
Thanks for the Info!

I like Chrome for work/business applications. Sending documents around by various means is a little more efficient with Chrome. I still use FF for personal use though. I use This* digital security site to learn the security issues associated with them.

stealing marketshare from Mozilla? what craps are you smoking here? You yourself said it, “Mozilla is a non-profit providing an open platform for others to build upon”, and Flock is one of it. Mozilla should be happy that other project uses it, not afraid of others “stealing markshare” with products based its own FREE and OPEN platform, which actually ADDS to its marketshare!!!

This is a lame response. No open source project works this way. “It’s open source, you could take it!” just isn’t how anything gets done. All the work is in integration and cleaning up patches and getting them into a state where they’re acceptable to the upstream repository. Having contributed significant patches to multiple open source projects, I can tell you that no project goes around looking for people who have taken their code and done something useful with it. The onus is on the developer who did the work to get it to a state where upstream can use it, in every case I’ve seen.

It’s not going to be any different working with Google. Working with an upstream vendor is hard, no matter who it is. If upstream wants only good quality code, which both Mozilla and Google do, you’re going to have to go through code reviews, and you’re going to have the easy solution (that might work for your app only) shot down in favor of a real fix.
Mozilla takes *a lot* of patches from non-employees. The project would be dead in the water if it didn’t. I understand that for someone like Flock it can be tough to balance “shipping your product” and “getting patches upstream”, but it’s open source, so you get out of it what you put into it.

It’s unlikely they’re building on chrome as there’s not even a plugin Api yet. So they could be building on chromium and extending the chromium ui. Or they could be building on webkit/skia and creating their own browser around it – in fact it’s entirely possible they could be using the existing xul browser with a webkit/skia website renderer – witness ietab on firefox.

@Banjo you can always go to Flock and check the browser out… Or even mail them…

To me, yep, no value proposition… I tried it, and its more hectic… I think its me, i just cant stand seeing so many things happening in the screen at one point in time…
