  Pros

  I'm still thinking

  Cons

  Freezes, Drops Out, Asks stupid questions that it never used to ask, ...

  Summary

  Obviously the open aspect of Mozilla is failing as this program progressively gets worse after every release. It's heading towards the ridiculous Micro$oft where new bells and whistles are more important than getting rid of buggy programming. I don't want more bells and whistles, I want a program that will work well, and fast.
  You've lost me.

  Well said! While version 15.0.1 seems to be running OK for me right now 15.0 was an unstable mess, so I still find your comments to be spot on. From version to version you simply can not rely on a constancy of stability. The features Mozilla are adding to the browser are simply not worth sacrificing stability for, and this is something the developers continually do. They seem to be driven by an urge to keep up with the development pace of Google Chrome at all cost. When will they ever learn that it's OK to have your own idenity. Leave the bells and whistles to Google Chrome, because the features most Firefox users want are in the extensions. This is where Firefox excels and where their true idenity is! If they were really listening to their users they would stop this ridiculous effort to be another Chrome and concentrate on making their browser rock stable.
