I recently gave up on firefox after trying for years to use it for my more sensitive browsing (email, bank, investments, etc.) where I could not run javascript blockers.
3 big problems (and many minor little things that i hit every day but haven't bothered to record)
- composing email in gmail is horrible. unexplained bursts of lag where it hangs for several seconds and may or may not lose anything I typed in that interval. This one is recent as of the past couple of months.
- outlook email just not updating or refreshing until I restart the browser.
- lagginess in most if not all input boxes (could be related to the first problem above).
- every few updates it will lose all my containers and I have to make them from scratch.
It may be something these sites are doing wrong, but I don't have the patience any more. Chrome works, Edgemium works, so I switched.
still use firefox for facebook container, but that's about it.
- BadassFractal 6y agoFirefox is my daily driver as well, and I experience a bunch of lag with it too. Overall it's stable and reliable, but it feels slow. I usually fail over to Chromium if Firefox is misbehaving.
