Firefox: The great fuck up updater

I don't think I've ever owned a piece of software that has more updates available whenever I start it up. Yet I have no idea what it's updating or why. It's usually some plug-in or some shit I've never heard of that I guess I must have installed but I don't remember installing any of it.

What I do know is with each update it becomes more sluggish, more prone to freezes, and more incompatible with whatever else the internet world is updating on their sites. For the past couple days I haven't been able to skip around videos and in some cases can't get videos to stop playing without quitting firefox. It's as if the updates are installing bugs instead of fixing them.

What is the meaning of this bullshit?

Isn't chrome currently lacking a bunch of shit? I have no idea what that shit would be, just have read "I'm not using it until they add......." type stuff. I don't know what their development pace is.

My cousin nicknamed his girlfriend fucker face. Best thing and chick ever because she actually responds to it without any hesitation or disgust.

I live in California. Having a whore face is actually a compliment and asset here.

I've been using Chrome for a couple of months. Don't miss Firefox at all. Chrome has extension capabilities now, so I can do most of my FF extensions. And it updates in the background, so you never have to worry. It runs faster than any other browser I've ever used. Sites that heavily use flash or javascript, like Facebook, run significantly faster on Chrome. Overall, the browser feels solid and totally rocks.

Good to know. One of the things I like about firefox is the search window in the top right of the browser with different site options. Saves a lot of time going directly to the pages. Anything like that with chrome?

Yeah they kind of combine that right into the address bar. It's like a address/search/suggestion bar. I really like it. Try it out, brah!

hmm, not that I know of...Chrome only has one bar, and it's both your address bar AND your search bar. You set in the prefs what your default search engine is. Otherwise, say you wanna go to yahoo, you just type yahoo and off you go. But i get what you mean. Try it for a week and see if you can't get used to it.

Good find. I'll be giving it a whirl. My needs are few and that about covers it. :)

Another Firefox-ish browser you could try is Camino ( http://caminobrowser.org/ ) - I've heard good things about it, although I still use Firefox. I heard something like Firefox had more updates last year than most browsers combined, so I'm a little weary of Firefox, too, but a couple of the add-ons that I swear by I just don't want to give up, Flashblock adblock, and downloadhelper in particular.
