Firefox has become completely unusable. It is completely FUBAR.
Firefox completely crashes my computer. It hangs, and won't even shut down properly. Even when I do shut it down I am forced to open my task manager and force it to shut down. When using facebook it completely ceases to function. It fails everywhere, on many websites, and on several different machines. I was a stubbornly loyal Netscape user, Mozilla user, and Firefox user since the 1990s. I've always appreciated what they've tried to do, but Firefox has become a miserable failure, and I HATE that I am now forced to use Google Chrome or some other monopolist browser. FIX THIS SHIT.
