Currently using Firefox 24 on my laptop and chrome on my Razr maxx smart phone.
My experience with Firefox is that it does in long term installs to develop memory leaks (as do other browsers). Also a surefire way to freeze Firefox in my experience is put your laptop to hibernate then reawaken it somewhere else with a different internet connection. Of course given that I regularly have three windows open with 90 tabs in my fanfic one (needs pruning), 23 in the second (news, weather and webcomics) and ten in the third memory issues are a given. It works pretty well till it starts to exceed 1.3 Gigabytes in memory usage (Currently at 430Mb) upon which it starts to get sluggish and freezy requiring a restart (This on a quad core Toshiba AMD laptop with 8 Gb RAM). I do suspect the issue has more to do with Firefox being a 32 bit browser on a 64 bit machine (Firefox developers don't want to work on 64 bit version currently).
Chrome on my laptop works but I rarely use it as I've got Firefox setup the way I want it. Chrome on my cell phone is better for some things than the built in browser but it tends to freeze for a few seconds after loading...
