I just wish it was .. faster. Lately I've been moving away from Google everywhere I can. I moved everything but Google Voice. Yes, even Google Search - I've moved to DuckDuckGo. On windows however, I had to fall back to Chrome, because I was just shocked at how slow Firefox was. Opening pages like Twitch.tv proved to be shockingly slow. Furthermore, my habit of opening many tabs in the background like I do in Chrome/…
It's a browser. All it should do (and do well) is display content.
I don't want a bunch of extra garbage tossed in because it sounds good on some marketing slide.
Chrome has been and continues to eat FF's marketshare alive because it has been both faster and lighter. More junk is not going to help FF beat them.
Mozilla is doing everything but what is supposed to do:make Firefox blazing fast.
I wish they'd stop focusing on the flavor-of-the-week technology gimmick bullshit and focus on making Firefox the better performing browser. Chrome outperforms it in nearly every way by margins that grow with every release. My reasons for sticking with FF grow fewer every day.
Have you tried a recent Nightly? Firefox is getting faster: http://www.techradar.com/news/firefoxs-blazing-speed-with-hu... [1]. As Mozilla continues to pull in code from Servo and implement e10s, Fiefox will perform better and crash less.

Google does not want you to move from their services and APIs. Chrome/Chromium, as a recent example allowed serviceURI in Web Speech APIs for third party recognition to be plugged in. Here: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/SpeechRecog... It was dropped in Chrome 49 and we're now all stuck with using Google. There has been little coverage on this, some speculated it was hardly implemented, or was dropp…
I mean, I don't care what Google wants lol. I've moved everything except Chrome on Windows, and Google Voice because of no replacement. I'm not complaining because I'm locked in by Google, I've switched to Safari on OS X with no issue at all - I don't miss Chrome in the slightest. Yet, on Windows, Firefox is proving to be a hurdle. It's on Mozilla, not Google. Imo
