Knew about this beforehand because of Nightly, basically Firefox that is 2 builds ahead that's in open beta.

I think I'd have applauded them cleaning up the code and all the behind the scenes shit they talk about WITHOUT changing the interface.

fsXDi would use firefox but flash has like 5fps on firefox for me for some reason.

I have no idea if this is correct, but someone on reddit explained the difference between Firefox and Chrome and I am paraphrasing:

Umm, I actually forgot all together. Basically, it was something like, if you use a lot of tabs while using a lot of extensions then chrome should run slower than firefox, since chrome loads all the extensions as different tabs.

I tried out firefox a few months ago when my chrome won't play any videos, but chrome is still better in my opinion. Not changing for this.

I've used Firefox for the last 2+ yrs. I like the general stability and feel of Firefox more than Chrome. Chrome always felt like a browser built for babies..

also, all the addons I use are all working on Firefox and I already understand them, so no reason to switch.

I still use FF for viewing finished web products, purely because Chrome has the worst text rendering engine or what ever it is I have ever seen in my life.

Even IE renders it better.

Firefox has better plugins. Adblock+, Noscript and Greasemonkey are 100x better than their chrome counterparts.

Chrome is much better for web dev though.

pretty much my exact thinking

adblock+ and noscript make browsing the web so easy it's ridiculous

I don't even need an antivirus at this point
