Ok /g/ i'm going to make the move over to firefox from chrome, but i'm not exactly sure how...
Right now I have 3 browsers in use and one in legacy use.
chrome
opera
ie 11
and
cyberfox 22
IE is my system default, it brings up something I dont use so it never gets lost
Opera is secondary use when i need to get something to work and chrome is fucking up
Chrome is the workhorse
What I want firefox to be is the long term I can close this and not give a fuck browser, with chrome probably still remaining the normal use but not really multi tab browser unless fire fox changed in such a big and significant way it can take over every aspect that chrome had.
But I have a few questions.
1) Am I able to instance firefox installations? From what I remember from going to firefox, water fox, and then cyberfox was that they all had the base "this was on another install" general settings, I would like to not touch any older instal of firefox, and have a clean slate when using current ff
2) Because of so many changes with firefox, I think firefox just isn't something i can use anymore or at least won't be something i can use soon. Im looking at alternatives, and pale moon seems to be the best bet, but from what i read it stopped updating at version 24 of firefox esr... that is just 2 versions ahead of cyberfox 22 and i honestly doubt i could use that for modern internet browsing just because of lack of standards. did palemoon stop numbering its releases the same way firefox did but retain many updates, or is it just that old a browser?
just so we are clear, ff24 is nearly 3 years old.
3) I'm not sure how firefox/palemoon handle it, but I use an extension called the great suspender on chrome, is there a fire fox equivalent?
any help with this would be greatly appreciated.

>Am I able to instance firefox installations?
Yup, install each on a different location. Then "firefox -P" for each one if you don't want to share the same profile/settings.

sick of shit breaking and needing to restart the computer till it works.

There any negative aspects to doing it this way? does palemoon auto update or does it only update when I tell it to, also would this fuck me over if I update the browser at all?
Also, "firefox -P" where do I add that... it has been I want to say 4 years sense i had to add something to a program launch.

Are you some sort of contrarian senpai?

literally can not give a fuck less unless they put something sjw into the program i use. there are multiple programs i use either because they are the best at what they do or they are the easiest to learn how they work (see 3dcoat) that are run by fucking twats.
ill just look up some nazi porn with the browser and feel better that they enabled it and made me even think of doing it.

>the great suspender
bartab
>>55076765
what else is there
your options are chrome shit, wangblows shit, obscure hipster shit, outdated sjw shit, or sjw shit
take your pick
they're all shit
just take the flavor of shit you like most and suck on it
have to ask one more thing, does tabmix+ still work, or some version of it?
kind of need it considering what i plan to do with the browser.

Fair point but Firefox is not the best browser
>>55079358
what is?
there is edge which is fairly good
chrome which is being a cunt to me constantly and i'm moving off of
opera is now based off of chromium and i dont like its feel so its a side though
firefox i think is the only thing that will do everything i want but they are trying to kill that off, so i think my only option is pale moon.
>>55077656
there any thing else as bartab apparently has known compatibility issues with pale moon?
ok, looking at bartab light x its worthless
there any other tab suspending addons palemoon can use?
Is there a way in palemoon/ff to have different tabsets?
I want to group tabs in different windows without needing multiple windows.
>>55081582
found a working tab group extension... very happy with this.
still though, any good tab suspenders outside of bar tab, nothing seems to have the functionality of the great suspender, not even close.
Ok, this is one i'm not sure at all about.
exhentai the show thumbnail button is not working. neither is normal/large, but that seems like more of a glitch than anything else.
