EmbedI love firefox too, but it's slowly losing the war. How can Mozilla compete with the likes of Google and Apple. Firebug is the only reason I still use it. Chrome's web inspector is poo by comparison
@chris- you make a great point, since the recent upgrades there has been a few issues but I think they have a great team and will fix it easily.
I'd rather Firefox over Internet Explorer - although both do not cost a cent, you can do more with FF along the lines of customising!
@Ben - you make a good point about restarting for updates or addons - but how often do you install new ones?
@Dylan - For me, Safari lags and is highly finicky. And not to forget that Safari/Chrome takes longer to recover from a frozen tab. Long live FF!
after using FF for a number of years, chrome just runs faster and looks far cleaner. the ability to pin tabs makes things V. easy in a work environment
Chrome does have a lot of issues, but I've just never found Firefox to be the wonder a lot of people tell me it is. A killer for me was the boxy design and constant nagging to update Personas, etc.
I used to love Firefox. I stop using it when it crashed on my old laptop. BTW, It's not that stable. And about rendering correctly. It depends on your personal definition of "correctly" here.
For me, FF is the least stable Webbrowser I've had, so I went to Chrome, and I've never had problems with it, and I've had it since beta (atm I am running dev. preview version of Chrome)
To me Firefox is like a Land Rover but Chrome is like Porche(I prefer that latter whenever I'm onroad...).
Chrome is no longer the fastest. But overall it outperforms. tinyurl.com/3aocqan Plus, it has the best extensions/look/gmail & google+ integration
I used to think the same, but the recent releases of FF are largely steps backwards. Changes in the UI for no reason, flash video stuttering, and don't get me started on version numbering nonsense.
I love Chrome over FF because of the speed. I've only seen a few examples of compatibility problems with Chrome. Make a faster FF and I'd be with you
Firefox and Chrome have stability. Chrome have the speed that Firefox don't. The others (except for Opera) are wack.
Chrome has never given me problems with stability or rendering. Firefox, in contrast, has become more bloated and memory-hungry with each release.
I still think Chrome is more flexible. FF is like the new IE, it's the "establishment" now. To be honest, I use RockMelt (chrome all gussied up). Very nice browser!
It's is far from stable. It routinely hangs, freezes up and requires several force-quits before my day is up. Firefox 8 has behaved so far, but I'm still testing it. Can't live without its extensions.
New Safari has some bugs, but still much preferred over the clunky, slow, always needing updates, FOUT-inducing Firefox.
Who cares if it renders correctly if you're not around to see it...FF is TOO damn slow! I use Safari and Chrome about equally.
Chrome is faster, simpler, and I find that it renders more uniformly than FF. This isn't 2008 any more.
Firefox uses way to many resources, google chrome is small, fast and simple. Plus it has Angry Birds.
Firefox is too bulky. Sure, it does everything, but I prefer a simplistic browser that only does the basics and allows me to add whatever features I want as extensions. In other words, "Google Chrome"
Firefox is the new internet explorer. I personally use Opera, Its more stable than firefox, its faster, and renders better. The only problem is lack of support for sites like netflix and such.
Going back to Firefox version 3 I would agree. Since their fast development plan I think they have become a joke. All our web team have moved to chrome now, so much faster and it never crashes.
Addons...not so many, but updates I guess are pretty frequent. I don't really pay attention though since it does it in the background haha.
The one thing that drives me away from FF is having to restart for any update or plugin. It gets pretty annoying. Chrome only has to restart for major updates. Usually updates are in the background.
Safari, to me, gets the job done right. Firefox is ok, but it has those little annoyances as features that are not needed. Chrome is about the same way. Internet Explorer flat out sucks though. -EPIC
