😠 Firefox Quantim 😠

Hate it!!!!

I have v57.0.1 64 bit. Having issues since "Quantim" was released.

It's Slow...

YouTube videos I cannot see. It's just blank, yet all the comments show...

Disabled all my "extensions, addons" which made no difference.

Tired of switching to my backup browser Safari (which I hate) when FF starts acting up.

Today, I am testing out Chrome.

iMac 2017

OS 10.12.6

End of carry on......

I changed my preferences to not allow automatic updates then reverted to version 56.

Too many of my "legacy" extensions, which made earlier updates bearable and workable for me (I still like the classic Firefox) will not work in 57 and until they do I'll stick with the older version. Many will not be updated.

but I ditched firefox a few months ago for Chrome

I liked FF but it had become increasingly buggy

I also use the newest version of FF and I like it. No issues and it does seem to be a bit faster than the old version.

I'm using it now. Several years ago I signed up for "Beta" releases (pre-public releases). I'm now on v58.0b11. I have had several crashes and reported them. At one point I switched to Safari to finish some work. When Quantum doesn't crash (most of the time) it works fine.
