So long Firefox you slow peice of shit
 

Going back to IE.
Screw FF its been crashing and bogging my machine for 6 months.

Anyone else switch back to IE?

What do yo use?

I use chrome...

FF usually crash when opening specific type of sites.

going back to IE?!?!? YOU CRAZY?

chrome or opera if you dont like FF

Give chrome a try. You will never use another browser.

Despite its many shortcomings, Firefox usually isn't slow on its own. Try disabling plugins until you find the culprit. I've had the Skype, Google, and Seoquake plugins cause memory and crashing problems.

Google was the worst, followed by Skype.

Opera rocks :thumbsup

chrome mostly

Chrome is lightning fast :thumbsup

:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

good luck with that!

I use Chrome but some stuff is incompatible with it so my backup is firefox. I will deal with that pain in the ass to avoid having to use the super shitty IE.

Chrome is best by far. super speedy.

"back to IE"

hahahahahahaha
ahaha




ha

Lol - same here. Switched to Chrome about a month ago. So much better than struggling with Firefox.

Chrome
!!!!!

Chrome all the way, FF as back up for certain add ons.
Just the thought of accidentally opening my IE browser scares the living hell out of me.

Palemoon FTW!

Pokemon !

Still using Opera here... Although, this last version has some odd crashes every few days.. But overall I've been using it for years now and still love it.

Latest versions of FF seem to load sites slower like their early versions, if anything I'll go back to chrome, definitely not ie.

I recently switched to Chrome from FF. The transition has been smooth and I am finally using TAB browsing.

Opera! goodnight.

im on IE9 and chrome

I stayed with IE for a long time but eventually went to FF. I'm used to how it operates now, but it's very frustrating to see it using 200k-500k of memory when IE will use 20 or 30k.

Seems FF has become what they protested, bulky and bloated. Hell I don't even run a lot of plug-ins. Just FireBug and Ad Blocker.

That bad ?? :1orglaugh

SRware Iron = Chrome without the tracking.

Firefox is the best browser for work hands down. With the wealth of plugins available you can easily turn it into the powerhouse to perform your daily tasks, and it can also be used as your enternaiment center. The amount of flexibility it offers is amazing and it isn't matched by any other browser yet.

Yes this flexibility has it's downsides such as crashes, but the most common reason for that is some poorly manufactured plugin. You just need to figure it out which one is causing you trouble and disable it (it's easy, usually it's the most recent one :-))

AdBlock Plus and Element Hider Helper are the two most amazing pieces of browser software I ever used. With their help you can strip any site to basically bare and use only those functions you need. It helps a lot when you need to browse such cluster fucks of crappy "features" and ads as illegal tubes are to check if your stolen stuff is there. You guys probably wouldn't even recognize pornhub the way I see it in my FF :)

Opera is great too, I use it to check stats and read boards such as this one. Since they have added Adblock Plus a couple of months ago, I couldn't be any more happier with it :)

Classic FF

I do not run any plug ins at all

What exactly is everyone's issue with ie? Don't have any issues with it myself.

Same here IE rocks not to mention we sell shit to people that use IE, so use what they use to see the web as they see it, not as some fucking dork tech freak sees it who doesnt buy shit anyway :D

I switched to Chrome recently and have been using FF for years. I've finally gotten used to it.

Chrome dude, rest suck ass

does FF still have that memory leak?

:thumbsup:thumbsup

I never have any problems with Firefox. Ever.

Sticking with Firefox 3.6.x for as long as I can...

Eventually 3.6.x will no longer be supported / won't run well ... at which point, just like back when Netscape jumped the shark, I'll switch to MSIE again.

As for why it seems Firefox is self-destructing, it's noteable much of their funding comes from Google - a huge conflict of interest - the more people abandon Firefox, the more Google Chrome benefits ... something to ponder.

:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh True that.

I found a script the other day which I thought looked great, then I read the supported browsers didn't mention IE. So I loaded it in IE and sure enough, it didn't work and said so.

Despite IE still having 40% market share, I decided I didn't care. Though I'm not going to use it on a site aimed at total dumbasses, so people are probably more likely to not use IE anyway. When I have aimed sites at dumbasses, making sure it works on IE is obviously a priority. :winkwink:

Since IE is steadily declining, and I get the impression that Microsoft doesn't care that much about it any more, and 'everyone' hates it, I'm surprised they even bother to come out with new versions.

I was just looking at this yesterday, about the most commonly used browser, by country:

• Blue: MS Internet Explorer
• Orange: Mozilla Firefox
• Green: Google Chrome
• Red: Opera

It's sad to see what they've done with FF. After 3.6 it was all down hill. I use chrome and opera. I have FF and IE installed just to test.

I use FF because it smells good

Latest firefox loads just as quick as chrome and quicker when both browsers have extensions enabled. Sites that are laden with javascript seem to load quicker in chrome.

Since google has the frame of the browser appear instead of a splash screen that has fooled a lot if people into thinking its load time is faster kind of like they reached into Apple's bag if tricks.
