What many others have already said - it's slower and many popular sites don't work properly on it. I don't feel like randomly having websites break when I am trying to get things done.

Even on a newer computer Firefox feels jagged and hangs. Memory leaks still happening years later. It is so frustrating to see Firefox using 1.5GB of RAM when only 2 tabs remain.

Quantum helped a lot, but it's still not enough for me and many others.



Really? Firefox feels faster to me than Chrome at this point. I use both for work, but I prefer Firefox at home.

What popular sites don't work in Firefox?


> many popular sites don't work properly on it

Really? Do you have examples? I haven’t faced this issue. Some websites breaks somehow if you block 3rd party tracking (by breaking I mean that some pictures or video embedded into the page won’t load), but that’s an opt-in feature so I don’t think that’s what you mean.


Popular sites? If they work only with Chrome they aren't popular sites for me, and I'm happy to know that I shouldn't trust them too much.


I suffered with the same until around december last year. Ever since I cannot distinguish chrome from firefox most of the time.
