Refreshing Firefox only makes it worse because it removes add ons that make FF useful. Then you have to go looking for them again. The real problem is the last update which "Broke" something. After you restart nothing works the way you want, i.e. I hate videos loading when I want to read news. FF has several flash blockers but they get removed when you have to "refresh" because FF is a failure i.e. It also kills the theme, then you harrass us to get themes and other crap??? Whats the point if you continue to make updates that cause it to crash. Get rid of your promotions if your going to continue to break the browser! This has been the continual problem with FF it has all these cool features but they crash when you push out the update because the developers aren't as fast as Mozilla. By the time the dev responds you make another "update" and the evil cycle continues just like GOOGLE!

I have already done this twice and you obviously did not read everything here or you would know that. I do not care that much about the theme thats easy find the other apps is a pain in the butt when it happens with great regularity as it seems to do with both browsers Chrome and FF that are also mobile android browsers ...what could it be maybe conflict the great geeks don't look for or don't care about because they want the Droid business ( millions of bonzo bucks) while who gives a rats butt about the PC user. (they 're in decline don't ch know)

So like I said when the wheels figure it out and want to fix it they will until then I guess I will jump back and forth between the working Browser of the week. OR hopefully find something else!
