Try disabling the plugins, they can be problematic in FF. Flash can

I'm a web developer, so I have a wide variety of browsers, FireFox
just doesn't seem to be the animal it used to be.


Unfortunately - that seems to be true. So, as a web developer, are you
suggesting Chrome over Firefox these days? It's not clear from your

above. What a shame - Firefox used to be the relief from the Microsoft
crap, and now seems to be more of the same.

I'd rather not jump out of Microsoft's bed into Google's[*]. I'll
stick with Firefox.

[*] Apple vs. Google (cell phones) isn't a lot of choice, IMO.

Google bought the old Motorola cell phone division (Motorola Mobility)
after Mot split into Motorola Mobility and Motorola Solutions.

If you're talking about Android phones, Android is Linux based.


I use the main search page on Google for my opening page in Firefox.
I use Google as my main search engine. So when I open Firefox, it is
ready for a search.

I export my wife's book marks and she use that for her home page.
