“No Longer Use It”
Written on: 09/05/2013 by dukespaniel (1 review written)
I used Firefox for a long time and then it started getting squirrelly. One day when trying to use it a message popped up saying "Firefox profile cannot be loaded. It may be missing or inaccessible." I found a forum for Firefox troubleshooting and found going back in time I had 1000s of users for company. Like most other users I tried uninstalling and then reinstalling it without benefit. To keep things current I went ahead and repeated this issue and got the same responses from FF telling me... (read more)

“Great browser but uses a lot of memory”
Written on: 18/11/2012
I like Firefox, it has a lot of good features, and the best thing about it is the number of add-ons. Compared to the other browsers, Firefox has miles more add-ons and this makes the difference for me Some add-ons I consider essential. On the downside, Firefox uses a lot of memory, and it sometimes crashes because it's using more than 1GB of RAM. And Chrome is noticeably quicker to use when browsing. If it weren't for the add-ons, I would probably switch to Chrome, but for now Firefox... (read more)

It has some nice features but it's fundamental flaws severely reduce it's goodness. Sometimes when you click on a website that normally works, it redirects to p.orn, or another stupid website which gives results for what you just searched for. It also sometimes corrupts the downloads and crashes frequently(at least it's better than internet explorer which hardly works at all). (read more)

Have used IE for 7 years, 6 months ago I thought I'd try out Chrome. Disaster! Pages frequently crash, fail to load, slows down the machine. Tried their solutions in \"under the hood\", still didn't work for me. So today I thought Id give Firefox a go, friends, neighbours use and recommend it. Early days yet, but looks ok. I guess it's horses for courses!

Stable, compatible, good speed. The extensions are fantastic. Install flash, java and shockwave plugins and you're good to go. Get a dictionary in your language, noscript is great for web safety, as is WOT. Java script engine upgrades coming soon will see Firefox catch up to webkit browsers such as Chrome and Safari.

Written on: 15/08/2010 by ReeceBlack (12 reviews written)
Firefox is still my favourite browser, although chrome is faster - the sheer number of features and add-ons in Firefox makes it seem more like a complete browser.
Recently it seems to be getting more and more unstable, with frequent crashes, and it's a notorious memory hog - but despite this, I just can't seem to let it go.
In my opinion, it's the best browser out there.. but for how long?

Mozilla Firefox well well well, is one of the best web browsers out there i would recommend this to my family and friends because of the convenience when setting it up, and of course the security when browsing the net is superb! But some of the older versions of this software has some bugs that made me upset, but they already fixed those problems and i must say i really enjoyed the latest release of this web browser, and will stick to it forever.

Written on: 12/03/2010
I was getting so fed-up with IE8 hanging up, virus attack attempts and so on that I decided to try Mozilla Firefox 3.6. At first I was quite happy with it, but the more I use it the more I get frustrated with it. Part of Firefox's big selling point is that it's significantly faster than other browsers. Well I've have now tried IE8, Firefox, Opera, Google Chrome and Safari against each other and cannot say that I've noticed any significant difference between any of them. There are so many...

<br/>I think its written by an MS shill. The review states that plugins were not installed, so of course some websites don't work, this is true of any browser, stability is not an issue, nearly all websites work with Firefox. Not credible.

I have been using Firefox for many years now and I have a complete contrast of your review. Firefox for 1 is an open source project and doesn't sell anything so they don't need a selling point, and Firefox add-ons if added correctly, (Not difficult) Are some of the stablest add-ons for any browser, You saying Firefox disabling add-ons because they are unsafe as a bad point.. i don't get it? Isn't it good for them to prevent security holes? Also you can choose to ignore their warning if they do say that.

Easy to use, always updated, free to use and much safer than Internet Explorer.
You can change its appearance, add useful scripts and surf the Internet at its best. Firefox is also completely editable and that's why it's the joy and pride of every Internet pro.
Sorry Bill Gates; FF's been getting the best of IE for years now.

Just like a lot of reviewers here I installed Mozilla FireFox on one of my laptops & to start all was well. However after a short while (less than 1 month) my security began finding more trojans than it ever had when using IE7. Add this to numerous occasions of crashing, pages closing of their own accord & machine slowdowns & as you can gather I wasn't impressed. Now using IE8 and thus far no major problems. (read more)

Fast data transter than other browsers. Plugins add more functionality and productivity. Inbuilt news reader, tabbed browsing, download manager and search engines. User can erase all past histories such as cookies, pages and files etc. Import /export bookmars among other browsers and even online bookmarking sites. Mozilla FireFox is fast, secure and a more reliable browser than its counterparts. Also the open source license gives more rights to the user. (read more)

Mozilla released their latest major version of Firefox (version 3.0) in June 2008. Firefox has many and vast improvements with its new release.
First let me say that I was not a big fan of Firefox in the past. Sure it had nice features but the browser just looked out dated and unattractive (even with many choices of themes). Firefox is an open source web browser descended from the Mozilla Application Suite. Open source for the non techies mean free redistribution of software to include...

Rarely crashes (can't remember the last one), even when attempting to open faulty pages. Seems to do all the things required without any fuss, and hasn't refused to open 99% of pages... what more could I ask. Well recommend Firefox.

Mozilla Firefox must be the most frustrating piece of software I've used since Ulead Video Studio 9. It should come with a free pack of blood pressure pills, or a wig to replace the hair you rip out in endless frustration by using this software.
I began using Firefox about 12 months ago following recommendations that it would outshine IE7 in terms of functions, reliability etc.
I happily downloaded the product, and initially everything went well. I found myself joining the Mozilla Fan Club and...

For the last four years I've used Internet Explorer but recently found that my internet has been slow and ponderous. After debating whether or not to change my ISP,PC etc I decided to change my browser to Firefox. The difference is obvious. I find Firefox easily 10 to 15 times faster than I.E. It really has transformed my web browsing. Highly recommended. Comparing IE to Firefox is like comparing dial-up to broadband. Firefox is simply brilliant. (read more)

Tabbed browsing is in place of windowed browsing (loads of windows open). Tabbed browsing was invented so you only have one window and all of the tabs are easy to get to without the hassle of the system memory packing up. Now, let me get this straight: Firefox didn't invent...

I never really wanted to try Mozilla Firefox as a browser, but when a visitor arrived at my house and saw me using AOL 9.0 on my computer he immediately said, "Get onto Firefox, NOW!," or something similar.
so that's what I did.
Downloading and installing the browser was as easy as any other piece of software. When I first opened the browser, it didn't look as eye-catching as I thought it would look after all of the good stuff I had been told about it. It appeared messy and unattractive....

It is hard to get excited about Web browers, but Firefox is, I suppose, as exciting as it will ever get.

Mozilla Firefox is a great little browser that anyone can use. It's user-friendly, gives great performance and is compatible on both a dial-up and broadband connection.
Firefox is partly capable of replacing the AOL browser if you're with AOL and run AOL's "AOL Dialler". However, the AOL toolbar can't be installed on this browser and this browser hasn't got buttons that take you straight to your email inbox. Firefox is also incapable of sending instant messages and sending/receiving webcam...

The programmers of Mozilla Firefox should quietly change their profession and never attempt again to write a software. You are an embarrassment.
