Browser conspiracy theories

All you have to do is uncheck the box and tell it never to ask you again, you`ll never get the question again.

Use Chrome, get rid of FF :)

Why make it easy for Google?

Swap to a FF variant like Pale Moon, Waterfox or Cyberfox.
They all have 64 bit versions too.

I'd agree with Lehnerus2000's advice. Personally I ditched Firefox two years ago and use Cyberfox instead.

Conspiracies? No. Privacy issues maybe.

Why stick to one browser anyway? I use at least six maybe more!

...all your browsings belong are us...
Tell me more about the other Fox-type browsers! Has the experiences been good overall?
What about plugins, extensions, etc.?

I still use Firefox in Linux Mint 17.1 (I think that the Linux version is 64 bit).

I've been using Pale Moon (64 bit) in Windows 7 for ~18 months.
It is supposed to be faster than FF.
I can't say that I noticed any major difference when I swapped over from FF.

Here is my Add-on Manager tab:

The greyed out add-ons either don't work or have been disabled by me for other reasons.
Personal Menu has been modified by me (to bypass the FF 4+ GUI issues) hence the weird version number.

Did all your stuff from Firefox (favorites, contacts, etc.) switch without a hitch? Is Pale Moon complicated, ois it easy enough for someone with my username?

It isn't any more complicated than any other browser (in my opinion).

You can run Firefox and Pale Moon on the same PC.

You can export your FF Bookmarks as an HTML file (using the Firefox Bookmark Manager).
You can load them using the Pale Moon Bookmark Manager.

If you want to transfer more items other than just Bookmarks, have a look at this article (also read the comments):
How to migrate a Firefox profile to Pale Moon - gHacks Tech News

You can also manually transfer your entire profile from Firefox to Pale Moon (by copying the appropriate files)
Make sure you save a backup of your FF profile (if you decide to try this method).


Also see if you can understand the FF profile structure by reading the information in this tutorial:
Firefox - Create and Run Multiple Profiles

Since Pale Mooon and Firefox are basically the same the tutorial should work.
Obviously you would need to replace references to firefox.exe with palemoon.exe as appropriate.

Note:
I have not checked that the tutorial still works with Firefox 36.
