possibly. however for me, technical problems are why i avoid it in general.
i still use it a bit, as i'm lazy about switching between user accounts with various services and separate browsers makes this easy.
sadly, nearly every day firefox will crash, often when i'm not even using it. it happens so often i don't even get annoyed anymore... it's just normal. my system is a fairly new build and nothing else crashes (or at least, so infrequently i don't recall anything).
- thr0w__4w4y 9y agoCame here to quote the same sentence and post a similar reply. I've been using Firefox forever, esp. b/c of some of the extensions, but it just isn't stable, reliable, or performance-oriented anymore. Chrome is more stable, snappier, and smoother. I'll always have a soft spot in my heart for Firefox, but the reality is that Firefox's engineering is inferior when compared to Chrome or Safari IMO. To deny this is perhaps illustrative of why Mozilla's browser is suffering. It crashes, it leaks, it sputters, it freezes. It's shameful and embarrassing.
- bzbarsky 9y agoDo you mind looking in about:crashes and pointing to some of the crash reports involved? I normally have multi-week uptimes in Firefox before I remember to restart just so I can get an update... I would really like to try to figure out why you're seeing so many crashes.
