Firefox 21 Warning

c627627 · Jun 17, 2013

I think there are two schools of thought on this. The other one is Add-ons.

Some of us switched from IE to Firefox because of Add-ons and Customization back when it was Firefox v0.x. As the years went buy, we discovered indispensable Add-ons that we can't give up Firefox over. Not because of Firefox, - because of those add-ons.

Since neither IE nor Chrome nor other browsers have them - we cannot give up Firefox. Everyone has their own, here are my dozen:

Wow that's quite the collection and a bunch of them look interesting! I've slowly weened myself off of addons/extensions/etc because every once in a while something would misbehave and every once in a while I could trace it back to them.

Chrome does have a ton of extensions available too - I'm not sure if anything similar is available https://chrome.google.com/webstore/category/extensions?hl=en-US

I’m running FF 21 also without any issues. I’ve also only been running 3 add-on’s add-block plus, Google translator, and movable FF button.
I’m also running Microsoft’s EMET with EAF disabled for Plugin Container (crashes the browser during video playback on Netflix).
Here are my current about:config tweaks as well…

Set alerts.slideIncrement to 2

Set alerts.slideIncrementTime to 5

Set alerts.totalOpenTime to 3000

Set browser.preferences.instantApply to true

Set browser.startup.homepage_override.mstone to ignore

Set browser.cache.memory.capacity to 1048576

Set browser.cache.memory.max_entry_size to 8192

Set browser.chrome.toolbar_tips to false

Set network.http.pipelining to true

set browser.cache.disk_cache_ssl to false

Set network.http.max-persistent-connections-per-server to 15

Set config.trim_on_minimize to False

Set network.prefetch-next to False

Set browser.preferences.animateFadeIn to True

Set ui.submenuDelay to 50

Set dom.popup_maximum to 3

set layout.spellcheckDefault value to 2

Set browser.cache.disk.enable to False

Just thinking this might be good for comparison :shrug:

Firefox has some really good add ons for add block plus.The malware domains is a another good subscription to add into Adblock.I did not know Chrome will not let you use add on's.I'm definitlry keeping FF.I take back what I said about FF 21.Nvidia newest drivers was the problem.2 days now with no lock-ups.
