This program is the slowest in history. While browsing facebook, it takes up all my memory and freezes up the computer. I am putting you on notice. If by the end of Oct you have not fixed it, I will uninstall firefox from all my devices. NO OTHER BROWSER SUCKS THIS BAD. LOOK AT THE SCREENSHOT!

Don't take this personally. Take it professionally. What are you doing with your brand?
