Buh Bye Firefox Which Fought Uninstalling Tooth and Nail!

[Virgorising]

For me, Firefox had trouble displaying more and more websites properly. With each new version of Friefox, it would become harder to use. Today, I made the switch to Pale Moon and couldn't be happier.

:biggrin:

 

[Virgorising]

I did side by side loading of websites repeatedly last night and IE loads the pages faster. Other than that I didn't notice anything else that makes me want to continue using this browser.

People should delve, test things, chase those data, process them and end up doing what is right for them. I might ad, for me, PM loads pages faster than IE or my finally gone, FX and is better in every way.

But, this thread was not really about Pale Moon, it was sharing the unexpected, U must B kidding issues I encountered trying to uninstall Mozilla Firefox, esp should anyone else be moved to do that.

but yet again.... Pale Moon FTW

I cannot use the 64 bit version because it is not compatible with IE Tab I can't play games that I want on MSN Games .com

I play yahoo.com games and I also play Quakelive on pale Moon!!

I do understand that perhaps msnGames.com is different!!

this is interesting can it load all your tabs when you open it but not actually refresh and update every tab like ie does when you reopen session. Instead only until you click a particular tab and or refresh that tab?

EDIT: I have like 300+ tabs saved in firefox that all appear when I run firefox and have created tab groups. It is Real Slow to change between tab groups now and it is only a matter of time like 2-3 hours of interchanging groups that firefox will crash.

Try checking off "Don't load tabs until selected" in the browser preferences.

Switched to Pale Moon both at home and at work (no IT department FTW!) after reading this thread. I started using Chrome after getting annoyed by slow startup of Firefox, but it's been getting slower, buggier and overall nastier over the last few weeks. Would you believe my 6 core rig with more RAM than you can shake a stick at was actually choking when opening some very complex sites with Chrome? Not so with Pale Moon x64! And the funniest bit is that the worst offender was Google+. You'd think Google would bend over backwards to make their own services fly on their own browser...

yup I always have "Don't load tabs until selected" I hate it when you click on a tab and it seems as it is just loading totally defies the idea of opening multiple tabs at once if you're gonna have to wait

ROFLMAO! that's teh funneh :biggrin:

Everytime I switched to Chrome, it couldn't last meh more than 2 hours before I uinstalled it, my biggest nuicanse about Chrome:

1- No WYSIWYG edtitor, so if you copy/paste something from a site and want to paste it on a forum post, it would only copy the text leaving out all the formatting, hyprlinks, etc

2- Xmarks is very buggy on it, the favicons seem to disappear randomly or it would mess up my entire bookmark collection with duplicates even though I specified in the options of Xmarks that I want to discard the bookmarks on my computer and load the ones off their server. I know it may be an xmarks bug, but this never happens on Pale Moon FTW

3- The bookmarks manager is fugly and scrolling to the bottom of your bookmarks list is very slow

4- The download manager needs a complete revamp, fugly interface

Pale Moon FTW, the speed of Chrome + the interface of Firefox

I have been forced to use an old version of Firefox, all the way back to 12, just because of my favorite Add-On, FoxyTunes. It was bought up by Yahoo years ago, then abandoned, but it is an add-on that I just cannot find a replacement for.

I tried Pale Moon yesterday, but it too does not support Foxytunes.

Running an unsupported browser is bad mojo. If there's anything you're religious about keeping up to date, it should be the browser. I'd look for a replacement for FoxyTunes, or live without it.

The content of the above does not reflect my subjective experience re PM.

Jus sayin.:whiste:

Also will add, the IU don have to be blue for more than 3 seconds. My enhanced Lavafox Red is completely compatible with PM. Not that that's the most important part, but for me, still important.

At least it uninstalled! Privacy invading, tracking off the hook, glutted up, analyze you up da kazoo...Chrome, I mean. But getting rid of ALL THINGS Google was my fierce goal well over a year ago. So, I did that.

Is there an easy (quick and painless) way to import passwords from Chrome to Pale Moon?

Importing/migrating everything from FX to PM took under one nano, and, I would like to think even re Chrome, that option exists and is written into PM.

You may have to try downloading and installing PM to see for yourself; can't find anything addressing this on the net.

 

[Virgorising]

K, here's what I don understand: had berryracer not told me about the new PM build, I would not have known. How come PM din tell me? I just got it, but I hadda go get it myself.

I very much agree with you, but were it not for my obsession with FoxyTunes. There honestly IS no replacement for it .. none. Many users have searched, but found nothing similar. I also use it to add album art to my music collection, so it serves multiple purposes.

I really wanted to think Pale Moon would resolve an outdated add-on issue, but that was dumb on my part. I will continue looking for a Foxytunes replacement, but I am betting it will never be found.

How does it fail? Maybe you could hack the extension yourself to make it work.

because I told you as it was just released, you didn't even give it time to push the update to you
