How's the new Firefox treating you?

I thought Firefox was no longer safe since they announced they were indeed collecting user data.

I like it, but have had some problems with message popping up saying a page is loading too slow and asking me if I want to stop it or wait. Never had this issue before. Otherwise, I like it.

I'm getting this^^^^^ a lot and I hardly ever got it before.

Seems to have memory leaks, starts to get slow. Also multiple instances seem to be running so when it does get slow I have to kill them one by one. Granted my PC is getting up there in age.

I find this happens a lot....I never new what to call it.

Seems to last longer than before until the memory leaks kick in.

Then again, if on a 64 bit Windows version, it updated one to 64 bit if you were running 32 bit, so that might be a factor...

Now if I open more than three tabs....everything just slows down, or stalls.

Works well, is a little faster. No complaints.

It does seem is a little faster, but if it stalls and I have to shut it down, I'm thinking its not really faster. I'm glad yours is working.

like all firefox browsers I have noticed it has hard time displaying java script in some cases.

Source needed.

I only really have drag-factors if a tab or two is on eBay, FB, or something flash/track-script heavy...

Broke ~ 2/3 of my add-ons.

The only time I find FF ok is on windows with more than 8Gb of ram. In most cases is memory hog, even in new form. On the rest of the platforms no matter what they are, is just slow and slows down the platform.

Not happy with the latest update (58.0.1). Getting memory leaks again. Firefox starts to get choppy when scrolling/switching between tabs. And there is an issue with hotmail. I have to refresh my hotmail account every time I want to click on a link inside an email. If I don't refresh, I can still open the email but when I click on a link it just takes me back to the inbox.

I use only FireFox Portable. That has worked extremely well for me.

Several instances of firefox.exe are running simultaneously and using a GB of my 8GB RAM. I have to wonder why

I stopped using FireFox long ago and switched to Chrome. With that said, recently started using Opera - especially for its built-in VPN feature.

It is an easy & simple transition going from Chrome to Opera (bookmarks, etc transferred 'naturally') and suggest ya'll give it a try; especially in light of various reports coming out how intrusive Google can be on your surfing.

You can't completely keep Google out of your life but you don't have to make it easy for them to know what you're doing/where you've been for them to make a dollar off you.
