It's almost unusable on my end. Tabs taking 5+ seconds to open. Scrolling hangs for the same amount of time. Why the hell did I update when the previous version was damn good. I'm going back to IE.
 


Every version of Firefox is slow.
Can't see myself ever using IE though. I'm making the move to Chrome.
Pretty sick of Firefox

This.. I have been with firefox since the early netscape days. In the last 2 years they have fucked up 15+ years of loyalty. Now I cringe on the rare occasions where I have to use it.
 
Firefox gets slower with each update, constantly freezes, takes forever to boot up, and often crashes due to their shitty plugin-container.exe which is supposed to prevent crashes in the first place. It's not just you.

Still really like firefox and the plugin community, just wish it didn't feel so unstable and sometimes eat 50% of my CPU and/or bring my computer to a screeching halt.

Been using Chrome lately and really like the minimalist feel.
 
Hmm. Now you got me thinking of trying Chrome again. Installed it a long time ago and didn't like it much, but haven't tried a recent version.
 
well this thread just confirmed everything i've been experiencing and pushed me over the edge to chrome for sure.
 
No matter what Browser I use, every time I update them they seem to get a lot slower and freeze up when I have 90 tabs of pron tubes open.

This. Firefox and adobe flash both. Every damn time I restart my computer flash wants to update. I'm staring to understand why Steve Jobs hated it so much
 
I still use FF, I don't mind it.

I love how Google gave money to FF, then built Chrome to compete with it.

I hate how Chrome is laid out, but I do like the minimalism of the browser. My pinned tabs never work though.
