Can someone please explain why Mozilla's product development strategy is to make a slower version of Chrome?
It is more respectful towards the mentally challenged. Check your privilege, fast thinking CIS scum.

Google pays them to be an artificial competitor that's always inferior.
>>52039791
Pretty sure it's Yahoo who pays them these days
It isn't. That's just your project.

It runs just fine on Linux. It's more of a Windows problem. Somehow the Windows version is way too bloated, just like Windows itself.

Then explain why it's increasingly like Chrome except far slower.
>>52039815
No, Mozilla has always had major performance issues since the beginning of its existence (and, to be fair, Netscape did too). It's kind of inexplicable how they still haven't fixed it.

1. Adobe Flash
2. You have a corrupted profile
3. Your extensions are slowing everything down

They are spending 15 thousand dollars to remove "master" and "slave" from their code. That is why.

Firefox works for me. I don't know what you're doing wrong.
>>52039843
Not true. As someone who has abandoned Windows several years ago, I can tell you that Firefox runs much smoother on Linux. It was immediately noticeable to me.
>>52039852
No, it really is way slower, even without extensions or any other bullshit, used across multiple PCs.
>>52039882
Well, I don't remember that, but it's been a while since I used Linux on the desktop. Still, it runs like utter shit for 90% of its users for some reason.
And it still doesn't explain why it's trending to being more like Chrome. Surely people who want to use Chrome will just use Chrome? Where's the unique features?
>>52039815
>>52039882
This. I thought Firefox was just ok until I switched to linux, the difference really is like day and night.

It's fine for us maan

FF is actually faster anon
Feminism is directly responsible for Firefoxes' poor performance. Mozilla decided that hiring "empowered wymxn" was of higher priority than people with actual fucking programming skill.

Comparing how speedy something feels across platforms is stupid and entirely subjective.
>>52039748
It's not a strategy, its all they're capable of. To do something different would require them to think, to implement ideas would require them to be competent. They are cutting features not because their useless but because the don't understand them and can't maintain them.
Mozilla went full retard.
It's not that their development strategy is to make a slower Chrome, it's that Firefox is so bogged down with legacy code that in their attempts to make it faster they strip out features instead of re-implementing them in better ways.
Firefox is a total clusterfuck and has been a clusterfuck its entire life. The difference now is that they can't stay relevant with that clusterfuck anymore.

As they pay on google's behalf it's even better because it hides their relationship.
