Firefox has been solid for me since the dawn of time, and I have or currently run it on Windows, Mac, Linux, and FreeBSD.

For a while it used to be kind of slow on Mac and Linux, but I think that was slow graphics calls, which points to a possible issue with the graphics driver I was using. But the last time I checked (many months ago), it was much better.



I've seen plenty of webgl content that will hard crash FF 100% of the time.

Perhaps not FFs fault, could be an underlying driver issue, but ideally web content is sandboxed enough that it can't bring down everything.

I once saw a unity web game with a bug that crashed all major browsers across multiple OSes. Go go web tech!


Even the crashes are cross-platform!
