The last Alpha I downloaded wouldn't run properly at all.

I would launch it, and it would crash; and take into account I did a clean install (clean registry too).

I guess that's why they call it an Alpha.

I'm also somewhat displeased with the latest stable version of FireFox.

Before I did a routine format, FireFox would crash at least once a day (and would crash frequently when Java was involved). After the format, still the same old problems, which rules out system degredation.

I think the biggest problem is that FireFox doesn't handle a lot of popular plug-ins very well; it handles them, yes, but not in a stable fashion.

latest firefox was too buggy for me too. Slow also
