    "Failure is no laughing matter..."

    August 29, 2012  |   By bright_boy

    Pros

    -Add-ons
    -Customizable.

    Cons

    -Slow
    -Browsing feels glitchy, heavy and css support somewhat bad.
    -Currently I have 2 tabs open, neither running any demanding tasks, and my browser is using 540MB OF RAM!!!

    Summary

    With every update since the rapid-release failure began at Mozilla, I've been losing credibility in the foundation. What "I" really need is a stable, fast browser with the possibility of customization and add-ons to make my browsing less annoying and more beneficial for me, with increased addon support. Version 15 feels like i've been robbed of these benefits. Every update has brought nothing but useless, if not worsening, changes and glitches v3.6 had fixed. Maybe it's the 4 popular add-ons I have installed or maybe Mozilla doesn't care anymore about their users, or maybe they have been bought out of the market by the ever so popular crap called CHROME!
