Remember when this browser didn't suck balls?
>>45334083
No, sadly it's the least shitty browser around right now.
>>45334083
seems to jus werk here
Is Aurora kill? There is only Dev Edition now.
I was thinking exactly the same bf i read this, OP
>>45334135
You need fucking nasa computer to run it properly. I would never imagine that a browser can lag on any computer.
>>45334576
When does it lag for you?
>>45334135
sure it is if you count the random freezes and memory leaks as features instead of bugs as the devs do
>>45334614
It works like a champ on all my computers. Stop buying Acer laptops at Walmart.
What websites are you guys going to where you have to worry about Firefox crashing?
>>45334664
Netflix, anything with flash. Webm content as well.
>>45334595
>>45334641
Whatever kind of computer you have, a web browser shouldn't freeze or slow down. It is not a video game, it is not a video or 3d editor, there is no excuse for slowing down.
I fuckin' hate how Firefox deals with flash. In twitch if I mouse over the video that is streming it crashes for a sec. If I do it really fast it completly freezes. Fuck that shit!
>>45334681
I agree. But unless you want some second rate browser with no addons and little support. You are stuck with this.
>>45334641
besides what >>45334681
my specs should be more than enough to run a browser without random freezes, after all it runs chrome and IE without them but i'm sure my i7 is just too weak for firefox
>>45334681
Sacrificing your freedom due to occasional lagging? Good goy!
But seriously, listen to: >>45334641
>>45334706
Why don't you use IE or Chrome then?
Or well. Chromium.
<img src="http://weknowmemes.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/dank-memes.jpg">
>>45334711
No, I am using chromium, which is free, so no, I am not sacrificing unless you show me a piece in chromium's code that is botnet.
>>45334713
>Chromium.
Even buggier than Firefox.
>>45334724
That is bullshit.
>>45334724
No it isn't.
>>45334736
>>45334745
Yes it is. Its font rendering is worse, too.
>>45334765
Ok, mate. Not gonna argue, it is pointless. I will just say, I switched from FF to chromium like a week ago. It is a lot faster, videos (both html5 and flash) are faster and never had a crash and it is free. Well, I hate google, but I am not gonna change my browser just because it was made by them.
>>45334083
It doesn't suck on loonix, unless it still crashes GNOME3.
but yeah, it has always been clunky, that was the appeal back then.
>>45334576
>>45334595
>>45334614
>>45334706
I found that is only runs fine on fast SSDs.
I switched to an 840 evo and all of my problems with it went away. (except flash and JS, but what can you do?)
>>45334876
>flash
why do you think these raging mongoloids shit on FF?
It's their porn browser of choice, shit ain't fun when you have 20 plus windows of flash video in a row. This is especially hard to bear for thinkpad tards.
>>45334901
I see your point. Coming up 5 years my ThinkPad thermal paste is ready for a change and summer is not being kind.
>>45334901
We shit on it for being a bloatware, which is unacceptable for a web browser
>>45334083
Iceweasel works a lot faster on GNU/Linux than Windows for me. I remember using FF on Windows, and it was more of a hassle before.

>>45335104
>Not implying Safari users are too dumb to figure out Chromium.
the problem isn't firefox, it's the internet that sux.
internet has become heavy & bloated with ads, flash, javascript & social media intergration.
firefox being slow as shit has to do with the rendering. in that aspect, chrome is better.
if you just think it looks like shit, either install classic theme restorer or replace firefox with pale moon.
>>45335118
>shit can't render properly

nah, you're just a faggot
use Inernet Exporer
ony bad thing is ack of webm support
>>45335170

Nah, you're just a faggot.
Does anyone else here have the bug where your scrolling speed gets progressively slower?
>>45335160
I'm afraid the alternative is magnitudes worse
I assure you

Meanwhile ie8 runs fine.
What the fuck happened to firefox?
>>45335332
Reminder that IE uses a large part of the windows explorer to run.
>>45335332
they decided that adding a chat aws more important than solve bugs
since i installed the latest version yesterday what is happenening to me is often when i start firefox it will open two instances or seperate windows right away. has anyone experienced that as well? should i just reinstall or is there a potential fix?
>daily reminder that this performance issue only applies to Firefox
Kingston v300 here and mine launches in less than a second
>>45335422
you fucked up
i think a browser that holds your hand would be a better choice for you
I remember being able to run Firefox on an Athlon XP-M and mobile Celeron just fine.
And now it looks like my overclocked hexa-core Xeon is becoming obsolete already since some Javascript-heavy pages are laggy as fuck.
Seriously, what went wrong?
>>45335422
It opens instantly for me, what addons you have?
>not using botnet
>>45335474
literally only Adblock
have tried with all addons disabled aswell, but same results
>>45334083
yes I do. I have used Firefox since 8-9 years and have grown pretty attached to it, but lately it's making everything to sicken me. Currently I'm just looking for the switch... just dont want chrome.
>mfw all good programs I used to use once upon a time are going in the gutter

>>45335612
Use Pale Moon
The developer backports security updates and leaves behind the forced chromification
>>45335652
is there a working 4chan-X script for Pale Moon? 4chan sucks really bad without a ton of modifications.
>mfw I'm using fxchrome on firefox right now
>>45335830
for anyone wondering ccd0's script works with older version of greasemonkey - 1.15
currently enjoying pale moon
Am I retarded or did Firefox fuck up search? I used to be able to highlight text and right click to search a variety of search engines. Now I can only use the default search engine.
The only reason Firefox exists is because it was the only real alternative to IE6 in the bad old days of 2004.
>>45335939
the context menu used whatever search engine was selected up here for as long as I can remember
I feel like web browsers are like video game controller d-pads.
We used to have really quality ones but over time the quality just got ignored and fell into disregard. Now they're just piling on other things and forgetting about the experience.
>>45334083
Yes, long gone are the days of 3.x
Also, some decent addons will help Fx too.
>>45335612
I switched to Opera, feels good.

I don't respect you anymore.
>>45334576
Works faster than Chrome on mine, Opera still feels the fastest but they fucked up their functionality and layouts so much in the more recent updates.
Opera's caret browsing was god-tier, rip in piece.
What browser is worth using on a Windows tablet?

As long as no one manages to decipher my fetishes from my devices then I'm happy.

Why not just stay on an older version?
i recently switched back to firefox from chrome. i noticed that chrome was eating my cpu (constant 80% compared to 50% from firefox+ flash application).
can i do better?

I had only my 2nd or 3rd hard freeze in 2 years yesterday when I randomly tried to use ff.
I was ricing with some shitty plugins though so that may have been the cause.
Still, after so much flawless GNU+linux it was pretty disturbing.
>>45334694
this pretty much
Mind helping?
I just reverted my windows back to default factory state, installed a fresh firefox 32 and suddenly this happened
>>45334540
Been using it on arch since it was out with like 500+ tabs and autonomy of 11 days. No crash or lag so far, only restart when new update, also no flash or java plugin (never)
>>45335068
Iceweasel is awesome now, glad to be using it on Debian, lacks nothing, lightweight and fast as fuck. On a fucking celeron d with 1.6Ghz.
>>45334083
>classic theme restorer
>status-4-evar
there, it doesn't suck balls anymore.
I've used ff forever and adore mozilla [or at least have... not too sure anymore] but lately there have been a lot of problems.
I had to disable system wide my multi touch navigation [3 fingers left for back or right for forwards] because if it was used in firefox it would break scrolling entirely. Text boxes on facebook for some reason [only on facebook] have stopped functioning properly with one of my addons [not really ff's fault], among a lot of other small issues.
It's still the most customizable browser and it is open source.
If there was a better option that supported the addons I need on firefox I'd use it but there isn't.
>>45334083
What is better for Windows now? Opera is much slower, Chrome is more comfortable but that RAM reqirements.
>>45334694
>having flash installed
Why would you do this to yourself?
>>45339614
because html5 youtube does not work.
>>45339298
are you too poor for RAM or what?
>>45335192
You can install a plugin to get WebM support.
>>45334083
Remember when OP didn't suck balls?
>>45338699
Update your GPU drivers.
Yeah, when Chromium didn't exist.
>>45335422

>>45334135
I have 4gb of RAM, no swap partition, and over 30 addons installed. Firefox is using 514mb of my RAM.
Nasa computer, indeed.
>>45334083
I switched to Chrome after Firefox 33 started hanging constantly.
I asked my brother if he was having performance issues and he said yes.
Fucking Firefox. I'll try it again in a couple versions when they once again claim to have fixed their performance issues. It was working great for a while.
No, Firefox has always sucked.
Unfortunately, it's the least shitty option right now.
R.I.P. Opera.
>>45334540
Is the same just with another name and a skin.
>>45339942
But the default aurora icon was so nice.
its actually quite good
better than piece of shit lag chrome
I would be using google canary (not chromium) if it didn't blue screen my computer.
It died with australis. Fuck that bloated shit. I remember how smoothly 3.0 ran.
I still think Firefox is overall the best browser, but it's really taken a turn for the worse. Seems like FOSS devs sometimes go fucking crazy and shit all over their own project with "features" that nobody really wanted. It's like they all want to be the next Steve Jobs but they suck at it.
Firefox still doesn't preserve timestamps.
It still has the FTP bug from the Netscape days.
>>45340058
Back in the day of 3.0 the web wasn't a bloated piece of shit like it is now with thousands of stupid js code doing shit everywhere. The web is cancer, as an ex frontend webdev I'm amazed at how disgusting the developers are.

I don't visit any website that use flash. YouTube is completely html5 now if you are using the right web browser.
>>45342338
1) It crashes
2) It is a security nightmare
3) It plays video poorly
4) Youtube doesn't offer high FPS with Flash video
5) DRM
6) Not updated anymore except for Chrome builtin Flash
How do I change this ugly ass Firefox default blue?
>>45334576
I have more than 20 tabs open here and no lag in sight.
>>45342409
Classic Theme Restorer (its an addon) would be a nice start
>>45335652

>greasemonkey is incompatible
Is anyone else getting horizontal black bars on some pictures when opening them in a new tab? It only happens on 4chan though.
Is it a 4chan issue, a Firefox issue, an Appchan issue or a Greasemonkey issue?
>>45344062
Use Greasemonkey 1.15:
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/greasemonkey/versions/#version-1.15
>>45344610
Firefox. Only happens in Aurora/Nightly though. Hopefully will be fixed before it hits stable.
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1083113
>>45344794
It's been happening to me in main firefox for a while now.
>>45344759
thanks.
>>45345142
>It's been happening to me in main firefox for a while now.
Sorry, I misread your post. The Firefox 35 thing only happens when you hover.
Still, if it happens when you open a new tab, it's probably a Firefox bug and not Greasemonkey or Appchan one.
Have you tried turning hardware acceleration off?
>>45345641
I don't think it was ever on.
I've just switched to pale moon because firefox was just being shit.
