Why I Got Rid of Firefox

I have a p4b 2.6 and keep a window open while in games Anyway, it's still got that ram allocated when you're in games. If you close it, obviously, you lose your specific spot in each tab. The most common example for me is looking something WoW-related up on the web while playing, or surfing AT during long flights (Hi, my name is RBachman and I'm a WoW-o-holic ), but when I tear myself away from MMORPGs long enough to play other games, I still like to have a browser window open. PS, if my previous replies haven't made it clear enough, I do use and very much like FireFox - just being honest here.

Dude, keeping stuff open during games is your problem, no FireFox's. However, use Opera. It keeps your last known position saved when it's shut down so that even if it crashes you can go right back to where you were.

As for the FireFox vs Maxthon debate, why are we disregarding all the other benefits of FireFox? Nobody switches to the browser for lower memory useage.

.

firefox has the featureto remeber all your current tabs,windows,and tabs in windows. use it all the time. i belive one of my ecxtensions give me that. i think its the tab mix plus extension.

Old thread. But yeah, if I were to give up Firefox, it would be for Opera not some IE shell. What's the saying, "You can dress up a pig, but it's still a pig."
