Just switched over to Waterfox - http://waterfoxproj.sourceforge.net/ - the 64-bit version of Firefox. Working great so far.

Is there a version for Mac OS? One of the required plug-ins seems to only have an .exe version download.

Do you mean Silverlight? You could check this page, maybe: http://www.microsoft.com/getsilverlight/Get-Started/Install/Default.aspx - Not much uses it though, so you might not miss it anyway.

As of 26 August 2011, 0.3% sites are using Silverlight,[15] whereas site usage of Adobe Flash is around 27%.[16] Usage of Java on sites during the same time period is around 4%.

I've been using Firefox for years, but lately it's just been a pain to use. I think I might make a permanent switch to Chrome soon o:

I've been using Chrome for a long time... But, I used to use Firefox!

Lately Firefox has been slowing down.
Switched to chrome for the past few weeks and have been happy.
Anyone else get that?

opera user for now and for a long time to come

I found that Firefox's memory leak was way too big for me to handle and would just bog my computer down. Ever since then I've been using Chrome and I've been happy with its performance.

I use firefox. Its quick, simple, and easy to use. Plus some of the add ons are very hand like the ad-blocker plus which blocks youtube ads :p. I didn't like chrome because it didn't have a home button ..maybe I just couldnt find it?

Is it just me, or does Mozilla Firefox hang everytime I open it?

Depends on your computer and how old it is/what it's able to do as well as what version of FF you're trying to run. Assuming that you're trying to run the latest/most updated version of FF, if you have a good, strong, fast, efficiently-running rig then it should not be "hanging" on you. However, as is often the case, if you're running an older, slower computer, it may just not be able to handle/keep up with the resources needed to run it properly.

Yeah, agree with many of the posts here. Firefox seems to be eating up lots of cpu usage for some reason.

Will gradually change to chrome in the near future

if u open a lot of tabs firefox is a little too slow, i prefer opera

qwertyuiop1st · « **Reply #197 on:** October 31, 2012, 08:43:36 PM »

primary browser is opera, have some tabs that have been open for months or years

i have firefox set as my default browser on windows (it loads faster for opening links from emails chats etc)
i also use it for studying japanese, with extensions rikachan etc.

i use chrome for browsing pixiv (too many tabs open on opera, and keep firefox clean for visitors etc.)
