....ucken Firefox update.

Holy shit, this new UI suuuuuuuuuucks.

Now I have to wait a few days for awesome people to make plugins to make it look less like ass.

Tabs on top of bar with no options to lower it? GG assholes.

Chrome?

Chrome.

No

Would this help?

Classic Theme Restorer

It's buggy.

I managed to find an add-on to put tabs on bottom which fixed my biggest issue and another mod that "highlights" tabs (I'm a tab whore, I have at least 8+ open at all times) which is easier. It'll take some time to get used to it but these 2 add-on s are a lifesend.

Chrome sucks the way I use it, 8+ tabs? 1 Gig + of ram please. Firefox tucks it neatly under 500 or so. Also, it fucked up fonts so much so that it makes for really annoying reading.

Can't argue with the memory usage. It's pretty ridiculous.

FF29 has been a memory locker. And I still don't see a reason to go Chrome full time (until someone makes "Morning Coffee" for Chrome).

Yeah, I don't get this... why is Chrome such a drain on resources?

Really poor optimization? I don't know, but it's been a problem for a very, very long time. It seems like it doesn't like to let go of RAM when you close a tab or end a process.

Even Firefox isn't that great about memory leakage, but Chrome doesn't even try to avoid bloat.

Why does every tab run as a different process? I find that bewildering

I guess so that if one tab crashes it doesn't crash the other tabs? I dunno.

I'm sure Chrome runs just fine on the computers of the people who develop Chrome.
You know, the ones with dual SSDs, 32GB RAM, at least a 6-core processor, and a DX11.2-capable graphics card.

That's a deliberate feature they use in chrome, so that if, say, flash crashes in one tab (or any other process on the page) it doesn't crash the whole browser, just that tab.

Well, to be fair, it runs just fine on my computer too (no SSDs, 6GB RAM, quad-core processor, DX10 capable graphics card), just so long as I restart it once every week or two and don't try to run it with more than 15 tabs or at the same time as I run two heavy RAM games; but at that point, it's running two heavy RAM games that causes the problem. And, I don't have any problem running a Chrome instance with multiple tabs that I haven't shut down for over a week with an FF instance with 20+ or 30+ tabs open. I just wish it ran even better.[DOUBLEPOST=1399927409,1399927351][/DOUBLEPOST]

Which is a very nice feature, actually.

So I just restarted with the firefox update here at work, and aside from the dumb blue background and space-wasting curves on the tabs, I don't see a lot of difference otherwise. I still have all my menus.

I hate the tabs. It wouldn't be too bad if there was more of a border around the inactive tabs. As it is, it's horribly annoying to me.
