Part of Flock's weakness was FireFix 2. It was slow and crashed pretty often. 2.0 fixes these problems and more

@Grant I don't know how yours is so fast...Mine is tres slow...
- Zee.
At least for OS X it is.. half of the services dont' even sync
- Mona Nomura
I have at various times, I used the new version for a couple of weeks before switching back to FF. It still feels more stable, but the hijacking feeds, social stuff doesn't do it for me. I get though why it may appeal to some people.
- Duncan Riley
I used to use it, then I ended up using Opera.
- Matt Hartley
maybe it is just fast in comparison to running IE7 on a 5 year old Dell with XP and 512 MB of RAM. Saving up for a MacBook:)

Actually, I have Flock in my list of "apps I'll migrate to in the future". I don't see that happening in less than an year, tho... let the thing mature, I say.
- Marcos Marado
I use flock (new beta) at home...FF in the office . Never been slow for me...though some have issues
- Allison
I have Flock open on one monitor - from which I Plurk, Tweet and do various other social media stuff, and I have FF3 open on the other monitor which is where I do everything else. I have had no problems with Flock so far

For the people using Flock with no issues... are you on PCs or Macs?
- Mona Nomura
Flock and FaceBook had sync'ing compatibility issues. Twitter would not load at all.... The only SNS service that worked smoothly was Flickr.. lol I'm on OS X v 10.5.3. (i still have yet to update)

I do most of the time, on a Mac. I like it better than plain jane Firefox. My favorite features are integrated display of my friend's Facebook status and ability to bookmark direct to Ma.gnolia through the favorites button. Admittedly the usability and reliability of those features could use a lot of work, but it does save some time/effort. I don't use any of the other special features that often.

Give me two good reasons to switch to Flock! :-)
- Theo
used flock on PC for a while, liked it but for intense use it is too cluttered and slow, tried the beta on my macbook.. not very stable and again.. too too too much for daily work + it didn't supported g/apps email, neither Twitts popups.. so.. turned back to FF3 + needed add ons
- Naor Mark
Theo: 1. Integrates social networking, email, etc. 2. I can't think of a second. Good point. I still like it though
- Grant
Used it and Opera rather than FF2, but now I've switched to FF3
- Paul Henman
I primarily use Firefox, but I also use Seamonkey, Midori, and Konqueror to some extent. But never Flock.
- Jake (aka Jawee)
I'm using Flock 2 beta. Basically got hooked on Flock while FF3 was less stable. My only complaint is how long it takes to load, so I keep it on full time. Like that Flock 2 integrates FF3 extensions without having to "Flock-ize" it.
- Mike McCallister
I would use flock but Foxmarks doesn't work with it yet
- Jonathan Nguyen
I like the interface and the idea but some how it just doesn't seam nescisary

I use Flock regularly (on Beta 2 right now with FF3 framework)- works great.
