For you die hard Firefox users, let me suggest using SeaMonkey. It's a Mozilla browser, but has thousands fewer lines of code. It does get updates with regular security updates, but nothing like the constant updates you have with Firefox. It is fast, stable, and a real pleasant experience versus Firefox. I had used it a few years back and when Firefox started giving me the problems you guys are describing, I made the decision to switch to SeaMonkey and have never looked back.
If you decide to give it a try, but want a more familiar Firefox experience, then install the 'SeaFox' extension and the 'Classic Firefox theme for SeaMonkey'. The result is a very familiar Firefox version 3.X interface. The only hitch I've found by doing this is that the 'Find In This Page' search function doesn't work and I haven't found a work around yet. If it becomes absolutely imperative that I use that function I temporarily disable the 'SeaFox' extension and restart the browser. If you decide to try SeaMonkey, you can either download the tarball or add a repository to your software sources.
