So the first time i installed the firefox , it was working great. reason why i installed was because chrome was eating up too much ram. i updated firefox multiple times and it just got worse and worse. its a trend today that making things worse and f***ed up in every single update. 1. Gif arent loading in last update on facebook , not about loading but when i hover my mouse on it , it should show me the hand symbol to play it but it aint doing anything and remains the pointer as arrow 2. If im up with firefox for like more than 30mins , youtube videos will stop playing. for example , when i open a video it wont start or done loading. it will just keep showing me loading circle forever but its using the internet as it should for loading the video. In this case i have to close all tabs and restart it and i have to login to fb , whatsapp and twitter all again. Pretty annoying. 3. Videos on facebook wont load , thats not facebooks issue. its same as youtube thing but it runs good after restart.

so well this is last try ill give after update , if its not working proper again , chrome is there for me. and firefox is eating up equal ram as chrome now so its not any different in terms of saving ram.

farewell
