![]() For instance Sonthakit who made the excellent Bookmark Favicon Changer, has announced that there will be no further development or updates for this project as FF22 has apparently broken it completely now. Message from Sonthakit Last edited by sicknero; 26. Jun 2013 at 01:16 PM. |

Thanks for yet another update!
![]() http://www.ibtimes.com/firefox-updat...photos-1289247 At this rate: 1. There would be more addons to mimic the older firefox (and create more bloat). 2. If this trend keeps up, users (rather power users) will begin to get frustrated and move on to other browsers.... ![]() |

![]() This ridiculous update schedule will also I think cost Mozilla a lot of users who (me included) are drawn to FF because of all the great add-ons that are available. If the situation becomes such that add-on developers give up on it, and if it just looks like Chrome anyway, then for me at least that would pretty much kill off the motivation I have to stick with it. |

I notice a change in:
Tools>Options>Privacy>Use custom settings for history. The option to tick or untick "Accept third party cookies" is not there anymore. Like some of you guys, I dont like anything about Chrome. Regardless of the changes they are making to Firefox, it remains my favorite browser by far. I am not moving anywhere. Not even looking for a replacement. Bo |

Sorry Bo, I am looking elsewhere. When I do a cold-start of Firefox and it takes 18 seconds to open on my I7 laptop and Chrome opens in less than 5, I get pretty irritated. That, along with the update schedule and my add-ons no longer working, has led me to think seriously of giving up on FF. I have been a HUGE FF fan for years; but that might be changing.
My biggest issue with Chrome is the inability to set a cache size. I used CCleaner yesterday and it found over 200 MB in the Chrome cache?! In every other browser I use, I set the cache size at 50 MB max.

I just timed IceDragon, it takes just over 15 seconds from a cold start with Noia4 theme, Speed Dial and 62 add-ons. XMarks can slow it down a lot if it has any syncing to do when it starts but that's one add-on I'd be lost without.
I used to find that disabling compatibilty checks sorted out most add ons, but there are a couple I have which now don't function properly. Scrollbar Anywhere for instance, which is annoying. I'm not on v22 yet as Comodo take a little while to bring IceDragon up to date but I daresay I'll be using it when it arrives. Having this conversation on other forums, it seems that some people (myself here) aren't bothered by a 20 second start up time, while others plut a lot of store by a browser's ability to be ready in 2 seconds. Kendall do you know about Preloader? (Firefox Preloader on SourceForge) It apparently works by loading/keeping parts of FF into RAM so that FF opens allegedly in a couple of seconds. Can't verify that myself as it doesn't work with IceDragon. Will you stick with FF Bo, if in a few months time it looks like the Australis one in the link that Concerned User posted? |
