I have been using the "DeerPark" builds for a while but would like to see what others use and why.

I know there are quite a few different ones so its hard to choose.

I always stick with the stable releases and release candidates for Firefox, because they tend to just work. I don't use Firefox much... I do, however, use Camino quite a bit, which is really just a Mac optimized build of Firefox, without all the extensions. You can get plenty of customization from CamiTools, though. But before you ask, do try a Google search... I found this: http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic.php?t=149532&start=1158. wink

DeerPark builds crash too easily for me.
