Why has Firefox become so bad?
Please read this post and this post of mine before you post a reply.
Why has Firefox become so bad?
It's becoming more and more bloated and less like what it was intended to be (fast and functional) when it was first released to compete with IE.
It takes up insane amounts of ram memory. It also crashes so easily whenever the flash plugin crashes.
Compare it to another browser like Chrome and the consumption and stability differences are so vast, even though Chrome was created after Firefox.. Chrome consumes 1/5 as much memory, doesn't lag at all even when many tabs are open and doesn't crash at all even if its flash plugin crashes.
I hate to use Chrome over Firefox but it's proving to be superior to Firefox in the most important areas of memory consumption, lag speed and stability. Chrome has major problems ensuring that downloads do not become corrupted, which is a nail to its heart.
Firefox, please take care of the important core issues before fiddling around with issues concerning user-created plugin...
