Comments on: Firefox 15 Out and Dazzles http://lorelle.wordpress.com/2012/09/03/firefox-15-out-and-dazzles/ Helping you learn more and do more with WordPress Sat, 25 May 2013 17:11:08 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.com/ By: Lorelle VanFossen http://lorelle.wordpress.com/2012/09/03/firefox-15-out-and-dazzles/#comment-960208 Sun, 16 Sep 2012 04:09:29 +0000 http://lorelle.wordpress.com/?p=6441#comment-960208 @Lindalee, sounds like my story, which is why I’m thrilled to be back on Firefox with very little problem. I haven’t touched Chrome other than for testing in months. Unfortunately, I’ve had to use IE more than my fair share lately as I just finished teaching an HTML college course and everything had to be tested in IE. ARGH. Talk about painful. So I’m totally with you on that.

I love it that you said you were in the “thick of it with these browsers all the time.” That’s wonderful. Many of us are but don’t realize how much of our work depends upon them. Love that you realize it, and respect and hate them equally. :D

I just got so upset. I finally tried Chrome. I now use Chrome as the default and FF as the 2nd. The problem is I am a WordPress Website designer and I use certain tools and addons that I love with FF and Chrome does not have, so I am really back and forth between the two of them. It is frustrating.
I wish I could just trust FF and go back to it full time.
Sarari just quit on me last year and I have reinstalled it and tried everything and it just won’t work and IE is just the worst. With IE that stupid yellow message bar on the bottom every time you use the browser is ghastly and there is no way to get rid of it. I have to check out all my websites in all the browsers for clients, so I am really in the thick of it with these browsers all the time.

Honestly, why is anyone using dumb toolbars any more? They suck memory and really offer very little value.

If you are having crashing problems, go through your list of add-ons and streamline them down. Really look at what you need and what you have. There may be something causing problems. If you are having crashing issues when viewing Flash like YouTube, then update Flash immediately. If you continue to have problems, contact Mozilla and make sure you have reporting turned on so they can dig into what is wrong. I’ve had it up for days with nary a crash.

Has Firefox fixed itself so that Google Toolbar will install and operate with this browser?

Many people are still on the Firefox 3.5 or 2.6 track and aren’t aware of the newer versions. The only time I’ve had a crash is when visiting a website designed with Flash. Many sites featuring Flash are using archaic code that will crash Chrome, IE, and Firefox. I’ve had this happen over and over again.

After a year, I did a speed test on how long it took me to do the same tasks on both Chrome and the updated Firefox and I found Chrome slowed me down tremendously. I’m so dependent upon the powerful features and add-ons for Firefox to do my work efficiently and fast, and Chrome doesn’t measure up yet. Someday but right now, going back to Firefox saved my fingers and my time.

Have been mainly using Safari right now, let’s see how it fares against it now.
