    Firefox used to be the best browser for developers...

    But now it sucks assholes! For some reason it doesn't play well with Flash anymore, it constantly freezes, and the latest update put it below IE on my browser list. What happened, Mozilla? Fix this shit already.

        Chrome is best, and sadly, IE9+ are creeping up.

            It's people who can not program crashing flash.

            Secondly I still use Firefox for development but the texture is what has changed is all.

                All browsers seem to suck anymore. Seems they all come out as new and hyped saying they are better than the competition because they are lighter & faster.. yadda, yada, yadda..

                Then they all end up bloated and crashing after a few years.

                    Especially with all those addons and extensions all their developers develop.

                        Except for Safari. Safari's DOM inspector is equally as good.

                                I just block the flash when I don't need it, still works better than anything else I know of.

                                    yeah,firefox suck real bad. Try to disable firebug to test it though.. flash constantly freezes,lockups...

                                    I tried ie10 for win7 and I am surprised,it is fast and good.

                                      Yes, was going to suggest Pale Moon you can load it up with addons and it will perform better than FireFox ...but still has problems with flash.

                                            I guess it depends what you are looking for a browser to do.

                                            What metrics would you look at?

                                              Chrome is good but I like Firefox + Firebug a lot more. I don't have the flash issue...

                                                  All browsers are SHIT. They are just different shit. Chrome is a fast shit with uber-crap bookmark system. Firefox is a Big Shit Pile eating your resources and not that fast. Like the Devastator tank in Dune 2. IE is such a big pile of SHIT the other 2 look different than the SHIT they ARE

                                                    Internet explorer plays flash best.

                                                      honestly I can't take the flash issues anymore and the fact they still haven't rolled out a retina version (yes I know it's in beta)

                                                      I switched to Chrome and I'm not looking back

                                                        Yes flash for some reason is always crashing on ff,regardless which version and even operative system.Which is why lately i try to always use safari when i need to surf youtube.
                                                        But ff works pretty fine if you avoid flash and fancy sites.

                                                          I have issues with firefox or palemoon with flash, page will freeze for 2-20 seconds then work fine. Sometimes it's great though and I have no issues.

                                                          If you like Chrome you should be using Iron.

                                                            Proprietary crap like flash makes it harder for browsers such as Firefox.

                                                            You don't like my posts? Put me on ignore or fuck right off. I'll say what I want.

                                                                I would love to switch to HTML5 primarily and use flash only for a fall back on all my sites but unfortunately most scripts can't handle it yet. Flash annoys the hell out of me as a surfer. Especially flash ads and the unnecessary animations. It eats up the cpu and causes crashes.
