PCs & Mobiles Forum - Firefox 9 is out - Page 1

Oh FFS half the bloody add ons hadn't been updated to work on 8.

I used to be with it, but then they changed what 'it' was.
Now, what I'm with isn't it, and what's 'it' seems weird and scary

You can probably update some of the add-ons manually.

Web Browser Grand Prix VIII: Chrome 16, Firefox 9, And Mac OS X
http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/macbook-air-chrome-16-firefox-9-benchmark,review-32354.html

it scores well in their grand prix, which is largely irrelevant to me at the mo, as I just use Firefox 'cos I like it the best, and generally don't run time trials on my browsing, but I guess over a year or so you could save some time

it's interesting as well as a browser, it's also an OS war, 'cos we don't get many of them

I think the only things I've learned from skim reading that article are:

1) if I'm using MS Windows, Safari is prob not best browser to use
2) I'm using a Mac, Opera is prob not best browser to use

I prefer Firefox too. No problems with add-ons and FF9 here, but then I only have Adblock and Down Them All. I don't like too many add-ons as the memory use shoots up (as you would expect it to), and I don't have much use for anything more tbh. Occasionally use Chrome, but I still end up back on FF. Not much between them performance wise these days, either on Linux or Windows in my personal experience.

I use firefox, because it has the best webdev/debugger (Firebug), which also probably causes it to eat all this ram.
