But Firefox is so amazing, why would you ever want to leave?
I would want to leave because firefox is so amazing, that once in a while
it'll suddenly decide to use up all available CPU on one of my cores,
until I figure out which article I opened up a week ago or whatever it is
that causes it, and close it. Or, I can of course just kill it and tell it
to resume the session. Or I can live with firefox being slower than a
politician at thinking.
FWIW I've addressed the issue of Firefox getting slower and slower and slower
by turning off most of my rather large set of add ons and then turning them on
a few at a time until I've found the culprit. In the process I've also found
out what I do and do not actually use and thrown a bunch of stuff out.
Of course, it is hateful that I have to go through this manual process to find
out what's making FF sluggish and especially that I have to restart FF to turn
a plugin on or off. It's reminiscent of MacOS 9 style OS extension management.
