>>54398312
Does anyone else have problems with Firefox and YouTube, where if you leave the same session open for long enough, YouTube's player will start crashing and giving errors? As soon as I restart the browser, they go away.
Also, does anyone experience laggy flashes on Firefox?
>>
>>54398433
I agree
Compared to firefox addons chrome can't do shit.
>>
>>54399329
The only "problem" I have with Firefox is that sometimes when I boot my computer, a firefox process is already running, and when I open it myself (thinking it isn't running) it doesn't load the bookmarks. I have to kill the 2 processes and start again for it to work correctly.

This is a good example scenario of how developers don't often know what's good for their product because they don't use it. A lot of devs are autists who sit around and code all the time and use ancient websites. And they work on cutting edge programs.

Years ago I remember the ZSNES devs wouldn't add 240p support to the program because software scanlines were "good enough" for them.

Maybe if you have a shit computer. Works fine for me.

It's literally one of the only browsers on Linux that supports autoscrolling. I love it for that reason

>Less customizable out of the box compared to Chrome(ium)
Nigga, what the FUCK have you been smoking? I use Firefox specifically for its great addon support and customization options. Chrome/Chromium don't even come close.

Bullshit! I can play videos in 4k, 2k, 1080p, 720p or whatever resolution.

Are you kidding? Firefox has better scroll of Chrome.

Edge>>>Firefox>>>Chrome

>>
>>54398312
>Why the fuck do people use Firefox?
Let's face it: All current browsers are shit.
Firefox (Nightly) is the only solution, since it's possible to customize it to be nice, eyecandy, fast and not a botnet. No other browser provides this.

If you can't configure FF yourself, you don't know what you are talking about and should end yourself for creating a thread about browsers while not even being able to configure a browser correctly.

How about you stop spoonfeeding them?

>How about you stop spoonfeeding them?

so they or other people in this thread stop perpetuating the myth that 'hurr firefox can't play youtube 1080p' just because they can't configure their firefox on linux or use a distro where they don't have to configure it
