Thought I'd try out Firefox again... been using Chrome for year.

Nice job Mozilla, Firefox is great. Styling and layout is very nice. If you choose the Dark theme in Windows 10, it automatically turns all black.

Performance is great. Really liking it, again.
 
I remember using Firefox back in the day and thought it was a great browser. It really fell by the wayside in later years but I checked it out again this year and I'm loving it. They've done a really good job revamping it. I hope Mozilla keeps up with this trend,
 
I started using it again about a month ago. First time I have tried it in three or four years. I like it, so I am going to keep using it.

Can't set a default zoom level for all web pages unless I use an add on. Fixed Zoom add on fixed that problem.

Like being able to easily set permissions for each website I visit. Advance Auto no longer crashes like it did with Chrome all the time. Basically had to give Advance Auto all permissions with Firefox, and now Advance works fine.

Every now and then I have a random page that does not fully render, but a reload fixes that every time.
 
Trending towards the better lately. It can handle more bookmarks now, but Sync still has no sane way of dealing with bookmark merges. In this day of free software, you think they could just grab a repository merge engine and use it. But no, still duplicates right beside each other, and the occassional deleted bookmark that I never deleted.

Also still has the problem of Syncing a new instance of FF, and it turns on features in other FF Syncs. That's a no-no. Each FF config should stay unique if merging configs has not been check-marked on THAT instance. But they bash it on anyway and start sharing stuff that you never authorized.
 
Ive run Firefox on and off. It is a big memory hog on Mac, so I went to chrome, but it is just as much of a hog...
 
How could you go wrong with Firefox?

I've thought about going back to FF but it won't sync my bookmarks from Chrome and I'm too lazy to transfer them manually
 
I switched from Chrome to Opera. I am very happy. The last time I tried Firefox it was a bit sketchy. That was many years ago.

Same. I never left. I was using it since it was Netscape.

I couldn't stand IE from the first time I saw it. Afterwards, many years of Linux meant it wasn't even an option, so I kept with Firefox.

And Same here! It's really been improved and I have no reason to change! Great Browser!
 
The Mozilla foundation was infiltrated so Firefox is off the list. At least for now, Brave seems to be the only browser I prefer.
 
7 yrs with Firefox and Windows 7. Haven't had a single disabling bug or malware issue. On other systems and other browsers like Chrome and I/E I'd get at least one or two every year.
