No. install Palemoon.

Its best chance is actually Mozilla getting into serious difficulties. The reason it's complete shit right now is because the company is full of people who don't give a shit, but are happy to ride the Mozilla gravy train because they pay so well. Once the money runs out, these rats will be the first to flee the sinking ship, at which point there's a small chance that Firefox can survive and be turned around by those left.

Of course, the longer they keep coasting along, the worse the browser gets, the more users flee and the less likely a recovery is. Remember to pray and ask for Mozilla's bankruptcy before bed tonight.

I'll reverse the question.

Why is Firefox bad?

I've used it for like 8 years now with absolutely zero complaints

I even tried Chrome and Chromium and had to go back because I preferred Firefox. Also tried out snake oil like Palemoon, saw more problems than benefits

Nice answer friend, you sure showed me the light on this issue and converted me to your opinion.

Firefox. Bad. Firefox. Bad. Firefox. Bad.

Nah it had its time. It will die out when gtk doesin a few years.
>>
No. Install Cyberfox

Bloat, slow as fuck compared to other browsers, ads in home tab
>>
>>54042836
Nobody's trying to convert you, cuck. Use whatever you like. Nobody cares. The fact that Firefox has bled out more than half its userbase over the past five years speaks for itself in terms of its quality and direction. Under 16% on the desktop and the slide shows no signs of abating.

And that's even being generous and not including mobile, where Firefox is a complete joke. With mobile thrown in, Firefox now has an 8.54% share of the overall browser market.

No, that's not how free software works senpai. Firefox means Firefox does only what I want. This cannot be true for non-free software.
>>
>>54042683
uh, no. Lazy is not the problem

People are scared as fuck right now, the previous leadership dumps all the cash in "women" projects and they have a hostile as fuck atmosphere where their currently leadership has said they will fuck up your life if they catch you saying anything during a private conversation.

Nope. Just switch to Vivaldi like all the other sane people

Not really. Google just put messages up on its search engine saying "Your browsing experience is slow and shitty, try our browser to speed things up!" and people ate it up. Firefox can't compete with the mass reach of Google.

>>54042343
They already did.

No. It's only going to get worse from here.

>>54043440
Actually Firefox hasn't bled out as bad as people have thought. The actual number of users has stayed roughly the same, it's more people are now using and unfortunately not picking Firefox so of course its percentage is going down. Firefox just isn't picking up the new users it needs to compete.

the internet

So, what is the best browser now that firefox is ruined?
>>
it is already the best out there
>>
>>54044102
to be fair, my browsing experience was slow and shitty
>>
>>54043440
>opera hasn't improved
why? it's such a good browser.
>>
Why is it so bad, bloated and slow? I don't want to look at their code but they must be doing something horribly wrong, data structure wise.

I'm using Iceweasel, I don't think this thing has updated in 2 years.

Firefox and Chrome perform about the same on all the different OS/hardware combinations I've tried. It's probably you who are doing something wrong.
>>
>>54045615
The answer is always Chrome.
>>
>>54042318

My hope is that servo will perform well
>>
>>54045615
Chrome and Vivaldi
>>
Probably not but I don't see any alternative.
>>
>>54045615
still firefox. even if it's ruined.

Hilarious thread, I didn't know people on /g/ were using browsers like chrome. I'd recommend using firefox for you guys if you still think chrome is faster pls go to /v/ and tell them how fast you can play farmville with your botnet browser
