Is it just me or Firefox 21.0 sucks ??

i'm having some trouble with ff, too - pages not displaying correctly. i've seen many people complaining about it. every update adds more and more code, and more and more problems.

maybe it's time for "flock"...

spoon.net! It's my fave thing in the world. The browsers are in a sandbox and everything runs so smoothly. I went all the way back to firefox 3.5 just to keep on my hard drive in case of an emergency. No more blue screens or slow computer since I did this. Then I downloaded spoon.net (the free version) for the latest version of all the browsers. I am in love with it.
 
There are very few decent words that I can use to describe my frustration with Firefox 21. I even get a message from Firefox stating that it's taking to long to open with a link to how I can speed it up. Those tips don't work. Plus, it crashes 5 to 7 times a day. It's been so bad that I'm thinking of use IE. I haven't used IE in decades...since it was first released. I quickly switched to Netscape.

I have Chrome installed, but I rarely use it. I also think of it as a big piece of spyware. I'm not sure why I didn't think of going of installing an older version of Firefox. LOL!
 
I live and breath FF but it's just been getting worse and worse. I haven't noticed an issue really with 21 but then I'm always having issues with it freezing up or whatever. I had to disable the flash plugin because about every 5th site the browser would freeze up for 5-10 seconds. And don't get me started on the memory issues.

I like the speed of chrome and I just started playing around in the chrome store. I use chrome when I want speed and simplicity. Unfortunately, it's still lacking a few features, customizations, and plugins that I like in FF.

IE = Browser that's always behind.

I thought my motherboard was dying and was very close to buying a new laptop. I had restored to factory settings and the blue screen of death was still happening. So I thought a moment about it and realized that right after I restored to factory settings, I downloaded the latest version of firefox. I thought surely it isn't firefox giving me blue screens as soon as I turn the laptop on and sign onto windows. So I downloaded firefox 3.5 because that was the first stable version that is still in working order today, and got rid of the current version of firefox. No more blue screens. However 3.5 was slow. I then downloaded spoon.net and the browsers run beautifully. I keep 3.5 in case of an emergency. I wonder how many people buy a new computer thinking that their computer is dying with constant blue screens (even after restoring to factory settings). You don't think it's firefox causing it, but it was in my case.

honestly I use chrome for everything like web browsing. I only use firefox when im doing something that involves SEO or coding or something. The actual firefox browsing isnt good but it has amazing add-ons.

My sister had this problem. She called me bitchin' about her two year old computer dying. I told her that Firefox has been acting crappy. She switched to Chrome. Problems solved.

I downloaded a version of Firefox from last year, but the automatic update kicked in before I thought to change it. %^&*!!!! I had no problems until I restarted Firefox. I briefly looked at spoon.net. Looks great. I'm going to give it a try. I love the concept.
 
I rarely encounter any issue with FF. Currently using version 21.
 
I am using Fasterfox add-on right now and working well with me.

Basically i use all the browsers, Firefox is primary then chrome, opera and sometimes Internet explorer too (lol)
