FF used to be a gem, not it is just a dirty piece of glass

You could try using pale moon. Its stripped down build of firefox, but you can still use all the plugins etc.

google palemoon.

You can import all you old firefox stuff into it and run it side by side with firefox so give it a bash

I never wanted to give up using FireFox, the switch to Chrome took some getting used to, but now that there are great addons for Chrome aswell, I'm glad I have. I certainly think it's the faster browser, which I can proudly confirm, is based on a hunch, lol.

its based on the Gecko engine (the same used by Firefox).

Google "SRWare Iron" and use it. Its based on Google Chrome's codes but there all the tracking codes which are present in Google Chrome and is sued by Google to track your activities have been removed. Best browser by far!

The problem is always caused by incompatible plugins when a new FF version is released.

Well, i'm happy that i'm not the only one to think that firefox starts seriously to sux balls.

As previously state i hated it but i keep using it for plugins !

I reached a pitch with 15 tabs opened to 1657 mo of RAM ....

Is this acceptable for only 15 tabs ?

At the very same time Opera was running with 70 tabs and 600 mo of RAM top max ...

I am using Firefox and Chrome before but my chrome crashes so I have to uninstall it and now 100% using Firefox. I have no problem with my browser even I do upgrade.

Hope this will not make me mad too as experienced by other users.

You upgraded to the latest FF version.

Go back in time and un-upgrade.

The same thing happened to me when I upgraded.

Click to expand...

Happened to me too. Now when I get the upgrade warning that pops up, I just x it out. No thank you. I'll stick with the previous version.

FF sux goat balls.Why do these dumbass FF developers think that more and bigger is always better. Next upgrade will probably gargle, brush your teeth, and flush the toilet for you.

Why not G Chrome ? It works perfect for me. I use FF sometimes but it's shit, slow and using too much memory. I've never had any problem with chrome yet, and i've been using it for a year now.

u r right, I am using chrome for the first time, what a difference

I installed firebug too, feels same as ff but so much better and smoother.

No frezing whatsoever.

FF raised my temperatures for 10C and it froze at the same time.

Still testing chrome but for now it rocks

I think I will just say RIP FF and F U
