Dot Matrix Posted April 22, 2012 Share Posted April 22, 2012 Unless Mozilla manages one hell of an about face next version, Firefox is going to find itself in the Recycle Bin. In my experience, this once great browser is finding itself in a hack of a fall from grace on the Windows platform. I'm kinda hoping Mozilla pulls a Microsoft and can recognize that it might be time to rebuild the browser from scratch, just like Microsoft did with IE9 for Windows 7.

There are many things in the pipline, IonMonkey which should give some boost to JS performance. Not that JS performance matters any more since it is already fast, but this engine is also more memory efficient. Incremental GC and Generational GC Super Snappy which should brings most of the benifits of e10s ( Process per Tab ) without a Total Rewrite. ( It is still a huge project though ) A new backend for Graphics Accleration Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
argonite Posted April 22, 2012 Share Posted April 22, 2012 If chrome had extension and interface modification capability that was on par with Firefox, I'd switch to that in a heartbeat. But Firefox sacrificed something for its vast array of features and that was performance. I don't mind one bit. veternan 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Douglas_C Posted April 22, 2012 Share Posted April 22, 2012 I switched to the ESR release. I got sick of it breaking everything every six weeks, so I'm 10.0.3ESR. Does what I need it to do (vaguely) when I need it do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neo1911 Posted April 22, 2012 Share Posted April 22, 2012 They should just rename it to firefox 4.012 This way they have 999 versions before they finally decide to move to real Firefox 5. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArialBlue Posted April 22, 2012 Share Posted April 22, 2012 Hey, relax. It could be worse. They still haven't updated Firefox with their new skin which would look as out of place on Windows as a Nazi celebrating a Bar Mitzvah. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cork1958 Posted April 22, 2012 Share Posted April 22, 2012 Waiting for Waterfox to update. And waiting and waiting, etc.................... Personally, I think Firefox has finally actually been improving, which wasn't a hard thing to do, in the last couple releases although I only use it in Linux as it blows major chunks in Windows and I WON'T use it there! That's where Palemoon and Waterfox come in. Oz. 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course, this likely depends on the addons, but that's what I've noticed from personal use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheLegendOfMart Posted April 22, 2012 Share Posted April 22, 2012 It does have a fantastic addon / extension system which is growing quickly. 90% of the addons you want on Fireworks will have a Chrome equivalent. :) How about having a bookmark menu instead of a bar or having to click the wrench? There is one extension but it looks awful. In firefox i have bookmarks menu docked in the tab bar next to my tabs, one click gives me access to all my bookmarks in a dropdown.
