Nope, I ran no addons.

  You seem to say "ran" which implies it was a some time in past. When exactly was this? Also FF is moving very rapidly, I remember FF 19(possibly 20) with no addons being way slower on my laptop than Chrome while its nightly at the time - FF 22 (or 23-24) ran blazingly fast (with same addons as FF 19) on par with Chrome.

    I switched to Chrome shortly after FF 3.6 and have only looked back 3 or 4 times since.

      3.6 was a while ago, and I believe you didn't need add-ons to have the trouble you describe. I use Firefox and Chrome every day. My results line up with recent HN comments about how Firefox is competitive, uses less memory at scale (lots of tabs), still janks worse, but may be actually more stable at the moment. Flash is a big source of instability still, for both browsers. My bottom line: both Firefox and Chrome are competitive, leading-edge browsers. Firefox on desktops is pure open source, Chrome is not (if that matters to you; it does to me a bit, but I'm a realist). AwesomeBar wins for me over Omnibox. I hope you'll give Firefox a try again. /be

        You are far from the first Mozilla employee that has responded to my complaints about Firefox, but you are the only one thus far that has been civil. In fact, just a few days ago, I was trolled on twitter by a Mozilla employee over my responses here. So, I just wanted to say thank you.

          Sorry to hear about the trollery. I'm looking into it. I wonder if you have a profile that goes back years and has some property that tickles a latent bug. Sorry if I missed it: have you tried running on a brand new profile? You'll have to use the -ProfileManager option on the command line at startup, I think. /be

            I'll give it a try on my home system again tonight. As for the trollery, the exchange is still visible via my Twitter profile (@jackmaney).
