Looks interesting. I am one of the few that still love some Firefox. Chrome is for the birds. Unfortunately the masses prefer that which is for the birds.

I, too, still use Firefox as my primary browser. My main complaints are performance. If this comes up in the repositories of my distro, I'll give it a try. Thanks for the notice, m-t.

I used to love FF, but the massive memory leaks made me switch to chrome. I love that I can sync my BMs and browser windows from my PC, laptop, and iPhone with Chrome.

If you're happy with what you've got then there's no reason to switch... but FYI, the last year of FireFox iterations have dramatically improved performance and reduced memory/crash problems for me (64-bit GNU/linux).

If it wasn't for a few plugins and extensions that I use all the time, I would likely have switched too.

I think that is what my FF friends tell me every year.

I have tried going back to FF multiple times for one or two certain plugins that weren't available on Chrome at the time, and could never full use it for more than a month without having to uninstall/reinstall because it got so slow. I finally got to the point where I couldn't justify keeping it installed for 1 or 2 plugins as the rest were developed for Chrome anyway.

That's pretty funny.

The whole point of the Mozilla project was to preserve choice (and improve browsers generally), and they've certainly done that. They kept the door open for other browsers, which is what we've got.

So if you're happy with what you're using, there's no reason to switch.
