I've been using Firefox for years because more popular browsers like Chrome and Edge have anti-features I dislike. In recent years, however, it feels like Mozilla has been more eager to follow trends set up by it's larger competitors even when those trends seem destructive to the principles that used to be at the core of this project. AI is the final straw for me. I don't understand why I would even use Firefox over Chrome if both are full of AI anyways. Even if AI wasn't a deal-breaker for me, I'm worried Firefox will make similar decisions later. I want out.

Is there any good and maintained alternatives to Firefox? Something like how Firefox was just a handful of years ago? Maybe a fork of an old version?

this site at mlb.com or any site showing a live game eventually freezes up and cannot be closed normally. task manager or re-boot is only way out, starting over with a new instance of firefox after ending all firefoxes.

this has been happening just this past few days, after firefox updated to 143.0 on windows 11 using defender, no other screwed up security software.

firefox needs to fix this, it is not likely anything with the site but rather with firefox latest update, as this has always worked before on this same computer.

Firefox automatically updated on my old Mac (OS 10.15.7). Since then every website I try to access gives a "Security connection failed" - Amazon, Google, even Firefox support. What the heck has happened. This browser is useless now.

I am not at all happy with this update. How do I delete it from my system? If I had any notification of what you were doing I would not have allowed it in the first place. And I will definitely be turning off auto updates from now on.

Dear Community,

Using Cloud applications via browser and my mail webbased I have Firefox installed. This browser was in my opinion always the better choice, but last months I experience strange behavior, cache issues, freezing pages, crashing tabs which is very annoying and frustrating when working in the cloud. In the same session it is possible that I suddenly can't open objects anymore or click on URL's, buttons not reacting or even can't login again, even when I just was logged in successfully. After refreshing and restarting the browser or sometimes even after restarting my device, everything is working properly again for a while. The same issues I have when using the incognito browser, especially when I use this for cloud application for example. I can't explain and my questions are: - anyone experiencing, familiar with and or know of this same kind of browser behavior and - if yes, how to solve this?

Thanks in advance and kind regards,

Aad
