Even tried a fresh install of Firefox but no dice. I love Firefox but getting the wrong search results is a deal breaker for me.
Any ideas?
Our game http://www.FreeRiderHD.com has always performed best on mobile and desktop through Chrome.
That being said the most recent stable build of Chrome desktop is constantly triggering 'Aw Snap' crashes without any crash data where the issue does not appear to exist in previous or future beta builds. Not just limited to our game as I have been experiencing crashes on Facebook and Twitter as well.
Are we going to go back to the days of no great browser options? Please no.
I can't leave Chrome because of its web developer tools
The worst part about chrome for me is that I can't access my Gmail accounts through Chrome. That's right, I have to use Firefox to access Google's own product because Chrome won't play nice with my school Google Apps account that my school provided us for email. Whenever I try to get to my school account it redirects to the gmail account I used to sign into Chrome - this happens regardless of whether I try to access…
Click your user icon. Click add account. Add school account. Now you can use both.
On Firefox I click the user icon, choose my work account and my personal account loads.
On Chrome I click the user icon, choose my personal account and my work account loads.
It's so fucking frustrating. I've cleared cookies, cache and history completely and the problem just comes back later that day.
Firefox with NoScript/Ghostery for e-commerce and article/blog reading. I have a selection of unblocked websites.
Vanilla Safari for banking.
Vanilla Chrome for anything that would require a lot of unblocking in FF.
This means that at any time I can have three browsers opened with multiple tabs each. I never seem to have any problem.
"Convenient though it would be if it were true, Mozilla is not big because it's full of useless crap. Mozilla is big because your needs are big. Your needs are big because the Internet is big. There are lots of small, lean web browsers out there that, incidentally, do almost nothing useful. If that's what you need, you've got options..." -- jwz
I read the article hoping for something insightful, but when I read the paragraph ...a half-dozen tabs that auto-open on launch thanks to the dozens of extensions I've accumulated over the years[...] I had to stop and say "wait, what?" To leverage his analogy that it is like coming home to a new house to find that most of your stuff is already there, it is like not cleaning your house and not taking out the trash for…

I'm not a Chrome-by-default user. But when it is closed and I drag a link to its icon, it is very infuriating that it just doesn't open the link that I asked it to, but whatever else it felt like opening alongside it.
Earlier quoted context omitted.
To be fair quite a few users left Firefox because they found it "bloated" or "it didn't work anymore" but never realized they were the ones that installed the bloat/adware/malware.
I left Firefox because it was measurably slower than Chrome at the time (and not by a small margin) and because crashes/hangs would usually take the whole Browser down.
I have no idea what your experience was, of course. Many people said this for years while Firefox consistently won or tied in objective comparisons.
Having dealt with end-user complaints for years, I've learned to doubt reports that rely on subjective perceptions of things like 'speed'. Sometimes the new, cool thing feels faster. Perhaps Firefox should pump in some fake engine noise.
