Today, Firefox loses all my bookmarks, it's done this in Fx0.x Fx 1.0 Fx 2.0 and now Fx3.0 - you'd have thought this would have been fixed by now.

Opera takes two hours to upgrade, and then the new version decides it can't render its own UI anymore, and when it finally starts doing that again, I've lost most of my toolbars to the UI eating monster and it's utterly fubarred beyond repair.

Internet Explorer 7... worked. Okay, it wasn't the best with standards, but it worked. The UI is clunky and it's not as pretty as the two aforementioned browsers, but it DID ITS JOB.

I 'upgraded' to the beta of IE8 a while ago, which failed to work with a lot of sites (mainly because the Js model has had an overhaul), and that is what prompted me to start using Opera (and then Firefox when that fell over).

I have decided to go back to IE8. It might be unstable, it might occasionally crash whilst on Facebook, but at least I know it's going to do those things. It so far has never unpredictably just stopped working, or ruined my life, or killed my cat. If I carry on using Opera or Firefox, those things might just happen, and I just can't take that risk.
