*sigh*
I feel rather glum that the end of my Firefox seems to be looming near.... :/
Nearly all of the sites I visit with regularity, F.A., here at L.J., YouTube... even the Google search engine itself, ..are now coded with new evils that stimie my good old steady FireFox 2.0.0.4
*featherwilts*
I recall upgrading several times, until it got to version 2.0.0.7 or so, when it began to suffer a huge spike in crashes... so I rolled back to this one, and it has been an extreeeemely stable version... Plus, it is very very safe with noScript and flashBlock installed... And with it's lean memory footprint, it is FAST... and so all in all it has been a comfort to use.
But I do use Chrome for YouTube now, although it's bleak and odd in many ways. And I much prefer the four ways FireFox can save, vs Chrome's two. And there are SO many more customizing choices in the Options/Prefs.
But alas, keeping up with this new dynamic-never-ending-page-load code trend is really taxing on this pobrecito lil' ole FireFox... like at Twitter, where I peek in a couple times a week, pages are SO molasses-in-winter slow, .. and it just feels like if I want to peek in there, or the *ulp GAH* facebook, it won't be long before I just gotta relent and deal with their pathetic and lazy coding, by trying newer browsers/systems. :/ I do at work, but I see a lot more ads there too, and it's... well, it's a drag when ya enjoyed something so long (this good ole FF browser), to have to move on...
