Unfortunately, I have had to move in the opposite direction. I have been a Firefox user for more than a decade but after an upgrade to Linux Mint 22 I have had very regular crashes on Firefox which took the entire computer down and so now I am on Brave which seems to be so much faster.
- Jnr 2y agoIf it crashes your whole computer, I would suspect hardware, since software should not crash the whole OS. Maybe try running some thorough RAM tests.
- extraduder_ire 2y agoHave you tried a clean install of firefox? A separate profile even. A lot of people switching to another browser and finding it much more performant/stable is just them starting with a default browser with minimal addons.
- squarefoot 2y agoSometimes a clean install isn't even needed. I moved my ~/.mozilla directory across all my main PC installs (and different flavors such as Palemoon and Waterfox) for years and all I had to do was cleaning the cache and every now and then the years long history which can really slow down the browser at each startup (note: system disk on SSD, home on mechanical HD, so YMMV).
- pkphilip 2y agoYes, it was a clean install. I had reinstalled even the OS from scratch
