Soild Alternative to FireFox

[JerometheGiraff]

Is there a better alternative to FireFox v22.0 ? There are so many frequent crashes. I gave Firefox, nearly six months more time, in hopes Mozilla would fix all the issues, that hasn't happened. When I customize a toolbar, restart firefox, the toolbar isn't the same as it was before restarting. I have to many add-ons to completely drop firefox, I need an alternative.

Firefox 21 ?
Internet explorer 9-10 ?
Chrome ?
Pick one which ever works the best you should keep.

Opera 15? If you don't mind not having a bookmarks bar.

If you are used to firefox, Pale Moon may be an excellent choice for you. It's built on firefox (v.20 atm), and you can import your settings directly. Also comes in an x64 flavor, which the actual firefox does not.

same with comodo ice dragon, you can change the profile to your current firefox one.

This could be exactly what is causing your problems; to many add ons.

I completely agree with this. I see no use for more than Adobe flash player, Java. I just recently started using a password manager too. (I use Chrome not Firefox) IMO ditch Firefox and use Chrome, it has a much newer and up to date interface. But opinions are just opinions, choose what you like and experiment. You've used Firefox, try Opera, Chrome, Safari, and whatever browsers are out there now days. It shouldn't take long to see which one suits you the best.

I'd rather PM it to you if you want, then paste a log file the size that it is ?

I use all my plug-ins, frequently. How dependable is Pale Moon ? I know plugins can cause crashes, I don't think that is the case, I've read others who use FireFox near bare-bones installation, and experience crashes. FireFox can crash 4-5 times a day, extreme.

Posting the log file from AdwCleaner helps all of us to know what's going on.... but, you can pm the .txt log to me, if that would make you feel more comfortable.

Will do, you can then specifically point out in the thread, what the problem is, or may be after looking at the log file
Edit: Can't paste the log file in the message, too long, I'm denied.

Multiple adware apps found and deleted!!

Firefox 23 is working fine for me. It was released as final today.

3. hit the ENTER key and close command prompt.

That's it.

I flushed the DNS, I hope the results are positive, less or no more FireFox crashes.

I haven't had any Firefox crashes with Firefox 23, apart from websites which usually cause the browser to hang and recover.
