The "more social" part is driving some users away.
Pale Moon has opted to leave that social stuff off.

Read more at: Firefox 27: Faster, more secure and more social | ZDNetMozilla has released Firefox version 27.
As detailed in the release notes, the major new feature is support for the Firefox SocialAPI. Mozilla describes the SocialAPI as "a new API to make it easier for web browsers to integrate with social media services. Once a social service provider is implemented for Firefox, it becomes possible for the browser to display in-chrome user controls and information related to that service."
Three SocialAPI plugins are available today: Facebook Messenger for Firefox, Cliqz, and Mixi (Japan only). In the screen grab below of Facebook messenger for Firefox, you can see how the Facebook Messenger pane stays up and running while the main browser window is on another site.

Agreed.
I can't stand Chrome or IE, so I've swapped to Palemoon 64 as a (feeble) protest against worthless fluff features.
Also, Mozilla refuses to fix the:
- Bookmark Manager (in fact it has gotten worse)
- Session Manager (to be fair, that could be an AV related problem though)
They seem to have plenty of time for useless fluff though.
Some sites look better via IE (on the right);
edit:
...and I had to download/use my own files from this post:
Need help removing google chrome
because a Chrome install barffed on this laptop.
Hi, I ditched Waterfox some time ago although the portable version wasn't bad especially if you just wanted to try out the browser. I stopped using it because it wasn't updated quickly by the developer.
If you take a quick look at the Cyberfox download page you'll see that it's already been updated. Just checked Watefox and it's still the old version.

Mozilla Firefox is dying I'm sure. I've been using it for years and slowly but surely, with every update it has got slower and s.l.o.w.e.r. Daily, I was getting "not responding" and finally bit the slug and deleted it. Back to IE (I know, I know), but at the minute it's doing the job one whole lot quicker than MF. Unless they improve it markedly....which on form I doubt, it's RIP Firefox.
Tried resetting, disabling addons, even stopped Avast and MBAM to see what happened. No effect
Must confess, I miss ol' FF, too many little gripes with IE.
