Why We Love Firefox, and Why We Hate It 665

An anonymous reader sends this quote from Conceivably Tech: "Admit it. You are in a love-hate relationship with Firefox. Either Mozilla gets Firefox right and you are jumping up and down, or Mozilla screws up and you threaten to ditch the browser in favor Chrome. Mozilla's passionate user base keeps Firefox dangling between constant ups and downs, which is a good thing, as long as Mozilla is going up. Unfortunately, that is not the case right now. Mozilla's market share has been slipping again at a significant pace. There has been some discussion and finger-pointing, and it seems that the rapid release process has to take the blame this time. Are we right to blame the rapid release process?" What do you find most annoying or gratifying about Firefox these days?

    After years of running Firefox on Linux I finally got a job and upgraded to Internet Eplorer running on Windows.

    It's so much better! Thank you Bill!

    Firefox is the greatest browser, with advanced features to benefit every user at a profound spiritual level:
    * Its memory bloat teaches us to be mindful of our resources, both within the computer, and our use of our resources in everyday outer life.
    * Its slowness helps teach us patience.
    * When the whole browser freezes up from a bit of incompetent CPU-thrashing javascript code running in one tab, it teaches us to be responsible for our own coding decisions and how they affect others.
    * Its slow startup teaches us that wonderful things don't happen instantly, and that we need to lose our attachment to time

    Stay away from Chrome - it feeds the ego by promoting our addiction to instant gratification
