Is this the end of firefox?

[m0l0ko]

I've been using firefox for many years now and my automatic reflex when I want to browse the web is to hit the firefox button but I'm sick of this incessant crashing so I'm switching to opera and chrome as my primary browsers. I liked firefox for many reasons but it crashes so often that I can't get through a 20 minute youtube video without it crashing at least once. Will mozilla redeem firefox or is this the end of this great browser?

money talks... Firefox was bound to die when Google launched chrome. Majority of ff money comes from Google.
yes i'm hinting something...

Well, there is already a similar thread opened about firefox here  http://evilzone.org/found-it-on-the-webs/the-death-of-firefox/


Thats my post there

From the "Big Five" Firefox and Opera are the browsers that don't have a huge corporation with unlimited money to spend in advertising (Apple, Google, Microsoft) and a OS (MacOS X/iOs, Chrome OS/Android, Windows/WP7) to spread the software on their side.Opera stagnates at 1-2%, Firefox has the support of the OS-community (and lots of Google's money), but cannot compete against those giants. I for one prefer the underdogsFirefox may continue to go down in market share, but it surely isn't going to die.

And again i think although FF has lost it's place it wont die, i believe FF devs they will change this negative picture.
I never gona use Google Chrome i prefer Iron chrome,or pale moon which is FF based. FF will always be my first choice even if i have to use it bareboned.

Isn't there already a thread like this started by Mr. Perfect? In any case Firefox will never die. And I don't know why you are experiencing crashes... FF's never crashed on me. I will also never use chrome because Google likes to harvest all of your data. 'Nuff said. Google is a great search engine and made a great phone, but I will be staying away from Chromium under any and all circumstances.

I'm on Ubuntu, what about you? Maybe its a problem with the way the linux version interacts with the flash plugin. I agree with you about chrome. I cringe at the idea of using a browser created by google.

Ah! There's the deciding factor I think. I also never experience crashes. Considering that you are on Ubuntu that might be an indicator of whats wrong...

Yes I'm also hinting something.
