I've tried twice to switch back to Firefox since this chrome add-on code change issue, including setting it my default browser. I had it beach ball on me a few times and crash twice in just 8 days. Chrome almost never beach balls, and very very rarely crashes. I painfully gave up on firefox again for now. Its gotta be stable and fast and it just wasn't for me.

Curious, I haven't had this experience. Firefox has been very stable and fast for me. I'm on an older Macbook Pro (mid 2015).

  You probably saw this already, but your MbP might be in a recent recall. https://metro.co.uk/2019/06/21/apple-issues-recall-faulty-macbooks-may-catch-fire-10022965/ https://metro.co.uk/2019/06/21/apple-issues-recall-faulty-ma...

Beach ball? What does that mean?
- dave7 7y ago
  It's the Mac equivalent of Windows' old-style "hourglass" or more modern "spinning blue circle". Basically means "become unresponsive, perhaps eventually needs process killed"

  On macosx that means your OS or at least the process is unresponsive. The mouse cursor then becomes a 'beach ball': https://cdn.macpaw.com/uploads/images/spinning-wheel.png https://cdn.macpaw.com/uploads/images/spinning-wheel.png
