Firefox is fast becoming a poor browser.

Does Firefox have any clue what they are even doing anymore? They used to be the most dependable browser I ever had. Then they come out with 4.0 which was simply a load of ****. I go back to 3.6 and have less troubles than with 4.0, but more than I had before the 4.0. Then they quickly come out with 5.0. Now, since their release of 5.0, my computer freezes, runs at 90% of RAM with nothing on, and boots me out of games or websites that I NEVER had troubles with ever before. I NEVER had troubles with any computer crashing when I was only turning it on, ... until 5.0. What is going on? When are you going to learn, and fix the problems you are causing?

Totally agree.

I loved firefox for years and now it sits there every 15 minutes and freezes for 20-30 seconds for no reason at all - drives me nuts and have now moved to Google Chrome.

Its already outperforming fox - its hasn't locked up since i started using it 30 minutes ago.

I like FF but I just had a gutful of it eating up memory and running like a dog - pun intended.

Maybe I will come back in a year see what it's doing.

I used to have virtually no problems at all when it was still 3.6. Since they started changing their program so much, it caused my computer to crash and need to be reset to the position of a month before. When a browser goes from a program which is running fine, to 4.0, then 5.0, then 5.1, and now 6.0 in such a short time of the couple months, that should be enough of a red flag to say "Reset the program back to the 3.6" 6.0 still freezes up on me. Not as bad as it was with 4.0 or 5.0, but still bad enough.
