Firefox Quantum: Comeback or Flameout? - Comments Page 3

I just downloaded Quantum today and, if anything, it's worse than the crap Firefox I already had. Quantum seems to crash or freeze about 50% of the time, and I don't notice that it's any faster.

To be honest, I haven't loved Firefox for at least the past two iterations, and I used to be a major fan. I guess it's Safari (blecch) for this girl from now on. Not sold on Chrome so far (and kind of tired of Google everything), so I guess we'll see.

Sooo disappointed...

I had the upgrade to Quantum "forced" on to me a couple of days ago. Not impressed, as it freezes about half of the time I use it - it doesn't seem to be a task or web site related issue.

I've been using Firefox since MS updated their browser a couple of years ago and that caused me problems... I guess I'm going to have to move on again unless there is a bug fix soon.

I've been using Quantum for the last 3 days and it is WORSE than any other version, slow, lagging, static at times....a constant white loading page which you then if doesn't load up have to use task manager to close - barely workable with vids etc on pages -constant freezing and unresponsive pages - an atrocious browser.

I'm am continually baffled by people claiming how much they 'love' the new firefox Quantum. I realize that peer pressure to get on the bandwagon is strong, but when you evaluate it objectively it really isn't an improvement.
-When I was forced to install, it removed many of my settings. The menus changed and many features moved or where even removed. One was the option to save login usernames but not the password(for security). Now its all or nothing or configure it manually for each specific site.
-With 16GB ram, I have never run out of memory before. Now I repeatedly run out of memory and even as I type this, I have 1 window with 10 tabs with mostly text and FF is using almost 3GB in strangely 6 instances(instead of 1)in process viewer. While I've been typing this, post a new FF process opened.
-Finally, I think mozilla caved and drank the cool-aid. Because while user response has not been all that positive the internet news media keeps stating what victory FF-quantum is and 'give it a try', 'fast as chrome'.

Firefox Quantum broke Theme, Font & Size Changer, the add-on that allowed visually impaired readers to change the font size of FF itself (menus, etc., not the fonts on web pages which are easy to change).

I no longer can read Thunderbird or Firefox. So, reluctantly, after many years of using them, I've switched to Chrome and will drop Thunderbird as soon as I find a legible alternative.

The new browser is developed to drop support for user extensions due all the internet crap and troubles starts all over again ! No extension or not supported extensions for the most needed task mostly user security and not loading all the crap posted on web pages ! With Quantum lack of everything, popups, cookie warnings and the list goes on ! Dropping support for user being on stear of web browsing not good for Firefox at all !
