Long time user - now heading elsewhere

Dear Mozilla,

As a long-time Firefox user and evangelist, it saddens me that the time has come to part ways.

I have seen threads from others commenting on Firefox's aggressive memory consumption and retention. I have not measured this and thus do not feel qualified to comment, but, sadly, I am not surprised.

My own experience in recent times highlights 2 events that have driven me here.

1) Several websites just not responding in that some screens will not even scroll. This is fixed by me moving to a different browser.

2) More seriously - When trying to fill in a web form for a work job application the page was completely unresponsive. When I contacted the web site support their answer was: "Are you using Firefox? Ah, Yes, we are having issues with Firefox that we are trying to resolve. Our suggestion for the time being is, if practical, try using a different browser". That answer worked.

I should add that the usual cache clearing, machine restarts, even Firefox reinstall did nothing to fix either of the above issues.

So with the serious memory greed issues reported by others and my own (dys)functional experiences, I fear the time has come.

Thank you for the last 30 years or so and I am sorry it has come to this.

Best of luck in your future endeavours.

Thank you for being a Firefox for a long time.

For you 2 web pages, maybe you can provide the links. There is also report the sites if you have problem with them under Firefox.

I have already reported the problems and the silence from Mozilla has been deafening.

So, while I appreciate your intent, I fear its value is impotent

Also, since, as I clearly stated in my post, one of the sites was part of a corporate onboarding process, thus the link is not publicly available.

Sorry to hear that you have not got any response for your report. I heard that some web pages are not following the standards which are not favor for Firefox.
