It's happened all the time, was incredibly annoying. Could never find why it did that.

Firefox kept giving me the stupid *Firefox is still running and must be closed (when I previously closed with already) and must be reset in order to open again.* Like... what.
Reset?

It means you were closing Firefox and you tried to open it again without the previous one fully closing. Firefox only runs one instance at a time, so since it's still trying to close, it won't be able to reinitiate its process, meaning it needs a new process to start again; which obviously it can't do because it hasn't finished closing yet.

This wouldn't happen if you don't try to open Firefox again so soon after closing it, and if you just had a faster computer.

My computer should be way more than capable of fully closing firefox in under a couple of minutes.
But since it's not, I always killed the process with task manager to be able to open a new one immediately ._.

Edit: Whenever it got stuck, bad wording. -__-

Why can't Firefox run multiple instances at a time? And why doesn't this happen (to the best of my knowledge) at least nearly as often with IE or Chrome? If this is solved w/ a faster computer, I presume this is an inefficiency issue in the program...?

Regardless, I am a Firefox user, only because I prefer open source apps whenever possible. Besides, the speed difference is not really noticeable on my computer~

I prefer Chrome as faster-wise, although I'm both Firefox and Chrome user at the same time when I decided to go on Facebook, Youtube and what not.

Chrome is botnet and does not respect your privacy. Firefox is good but use a different build of it, such as aurora (What I use), nightly or waterfox.

Firefox is better as it is more customisable and respects your freedom.

never use IE or opera.

Palemoon and lynx are good too.
yes, Aurora I use it too, and lynx I can recommend also, very good browser too

Actually, Nightly is the pre-alpha. Aurora is the Firefox alpha. The beta is simply the beta of course.

Seemingly, Firefox managed to surpass Chrome for the first time, in a Tom's Hardware shootout. Seemingly, the differences were pretty noticeable, but I couldn't really comment on that.

If you want to use firefox and want really fast speeds, use waterfox.

I've been using Firefox as long as I can remember and I've had no problems with speed or anything like that. c:

firefox nightly. It gets really buggy though, I use chrome as well but nightly mostly.
Kitsunemimi
I don't really know what happened but look what I found!~
http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/chr ... 34-12.html

Firefox is apparently really fast now~
If you actually go back and check the other results, you'll see that Chrome is still faster in certain areas, like Javascript and HTML5, however Firefox has managed to pull ahead on, surprisingly, startup, load times, and memory management??! Like, what?

So yeah, Firefox-tan might not be as fat and slow as you thought. I personally wouldn't really know better myself, since my hardware already goes super fast, and I don't use Chrome for comparison, but I just thought that this was very interesting to know.

Use waterfox/aurora, don't let chrome steal your info.

Beatox_old
To be honest, everyone's opinion doesn't really matter. What I've seen so far, it usually depends on the computer. As for my computer, it can't handle Chrome nor Internet Explorer. Therefore I'm using Firefox. Not sayin' that Firefox is faster, but just clarifying that everyone has opinions that works for them, does not work for everyone else.

I use Sogou High-Speed Explorer, a internet explorer that has the ability to:

Open multiple web pages in a single windows tab(similar to IE 8) and the capability to search for websites when you enter words(similar to Chrome)

Use two different internet proccessing cores that are manually changeable: Webkit Core and IE Core

Invisble Mode. History is not left when you visit a website. Use it to view Osu! to avoid unpleasant experiences with my mother.

A download controller you can access at anytime, unlike IE.

Rocket Mode. When viewing Chinese websites, speed is dramatically improved.

The only problem is you can only use 1 windows tab, any attempt to open and use a second windows tab will be contained in the first tab. Resulting in two web pages in 1 windows tab.

tl;dr: Chrome with an AK-47

THIS. But I use Firefox, because It's a Fox with a Fire.

I prefer Chrome's general smoothness and usability, as well as its ridulous;y clean design. However, it seems to be falling to pieces very slowly.

I like Firefox for its broader scope for extensions. It's great for ripping porn videos.

this should be a poll. -_-

hoho for now im using them both but i prefer chrome :)

Haven't used Firefox in over a year, and I don't plan on using it anytime soon.

Chrome is better.

Is there any Mozila Firefox theme? If yes I vote Mozila. I said vote, even if Chrome a little bit better than it.

Chrome, since my Firefox always crashed on my PC :o

Firefox is a slow piece of shit. I couldn't stand it for 2 minutes when I tried it yesterday.

Also the scrolling system sucks in Firefucks.

Chrome. I can't sign into my osu! forum account on Firefox and chrome seems a lot faster than Firefox.

Chrome is too fancy looking.

Firefox gave me some problems with alternating e-mail accounts in outlook so I traded to Chrome which seems better.

Firefox is slower for me, and I like how chrome looks anyway ((:

Man, most of you guys are Chrome, well I'm using Firefox because of the extensions but also I like it's GUI .

Long ago I used to test all the browsers that there were (FF, Chrome, Opera, even Safari) in order to see what could be more confortable for me.

Safari is just shit to me. Too buggy and classy and heavy and Apple.

Firefox is pretty customizable (a lot of extensions and personas blah blah) and it works fine, but for me is a little too much full of things (Talking about FF 4, I used it long ago, as I say).

Opera is clean and pretty for me. It has not very much things on the browser instead of the page content but it's still complete (e.g. it has progress bar while chrome DOESN'T). Buuuut I dropped it for some reason I don't remember.

So I'm using Chrome because it's simple and fast, and if I am surfing the web I don't want to see too many things coming out of the browser that are not the page itself

tl;dr Chrome
Kosuda5
Chrome...

Chrome is buggy (can't watch a video while another video is open) and skiw as hell, never going to use it again.

Firefox takes time to load but it's stable enough (and it's really fast on Linux)

I use Pale Moon, an optimised version of FF.
- Marco -
Chrome (Beta) beta are more fast that normal but not so stable...

Fox, has a better layout.

I prefer Chrome.

I'd use Opera if a few obvious flaws were fixed. Chrome makes everything easy and fast to use compared to Firefox imo.

Chrome for my laptop in dorm and safari for my macbook air. Apple always works best with apple.
The laptop in my dorm is far too heavy to move around.
Can you imagine doing so while carrying an Alienware M18x? Jesse it's around 12 lbs
