When I lose Google Plus in April, and with no working replacement... I'll have no use for Firefox. I suppose it had to happen. Google Chrome still doesn't work and IE STILL has too many issues... Neither have Customer Service. Firefox has been experiencing Crashes as of late... With no other choices available... I'll have to close my Account when Google Plus goes Offline.

Why do you think you can't use Firefox without Google Plus?

This doesn't help with the loss of Google Plus. Every time there was a crash... A report was sent.

How is google plus a firefox issue? That sounds more like a Google product themselves.

I lose one... I have no use for the other. Maybe you didn't read that part. I'm certainly not going to use it with IE as I don't/refuse to us it. It has way more problems than Google. You'd think someone (With half a brain) would've scraped it long ago. That's not how things work online. The mentality is... If it ain't broke... Fix it until it's broke. If it works well... Shut it down. If people need help... Ignore them. If it doesn't work... Don't fix it. I'll be making sure Google doesn't get another Dime from our Government for an Account with my name. Yes it can be done... I've done it, and to Facebook. Need more?

Considering you have still not explained what it is with Google + and Firefox, yes.

Not everyone knows all the ins and outs of the Web. Having a good laugh for yourself? Enjoy. This is the last time I reply to a Smart Asterisk! Copied and Pasted from my last Reply; "I lose one... I have no use for the other." No Google means No Firefox means I have to find a different BROWSER. Not IE, Not Google Chrome. Thanks for letting me know I can't trust Firefox or a smart-ascot like you! Report me! I DARE YOU! Save me the trouble of closing my useless bloody account! I would tell you what you can do with it and where... Your a Smart... Guy. You already know... Enjoy your laugh.

We have asked you to explain the problem. So far all you have done is complain. I am now saying goodbye.

@ kingofnicepeople,

Firefox is not responsible for Google shutting down Google+ ..... Firefox is not responsible for anything Google does.

If you can't be nice to people who are trying to help; could you at least comply with common decency  ?

I wasn't going to reply, because the last guy was being smart asteroid. He must of gone crying to you because, I figured out what he was doing by having me repeat myself. I thought Firefox could recommend a Browser. But NO, I have to keep asking. NOW I"M DONE. 15 years with Google and Firefox. The Day before Google shuts down, I'll close that account. I will be Posting info on Google on how people can make sure our Government stops Paying Sites for their Google Accounts. Google hasn't replied. I should've known as they have no C.S. Firefox is no different. You can only push people so far. Like the last guy did. He thought it was funny. I didn't, and still don't.

Dear Sir, neither Firefox nor any other browser can stop Google from shutting down Google+ ......

And nobody here 'thought it was funny' - people who replied to your posts have only been trying to be helpful and showed the utmost respect towards you.

If you have any Firefox related problems other than the crashes (see FredMcD's post concerning those) : then please let us know. But again : there is absolutely nothing Firefox can do about you losing Google+ (sorry ....).

Let me see if I can take a stab.

Google Plus is a website, run by Google. Google has decided to shut it down for their own reasons.

Firefox is a web browser. It is used to navigate to websites (such as google plus, but you can use it to navigate to any website on the internet). Firefox is developed by Mozilla, and has no association with Google Plus.

If you are having a specific issue with Firefox (the browser) we can help with that. If you are just upset that Google Plus is shutting down, I'm sorry, but we can't help there.

You can give feedback to google, https://www.google.com/tools/feedback/intl/en/ if you would like.

So, what can we help you with that is specifically related to the Firefox web browser?

I'm not repeating my question, and I'll not reply again. I'll find another Browser.

You did not have a question besides asking what competing web browser should you use instead.

You have not answered why you think you have to use another web browser simply because the Google+ site is being discontinued by the company Google.

The Firefox web browser is not tied to nor does it require Google+ in order to use to view any web site including this forum.

Hi everyone, This thread is going in circles, and it seems like kingofnicepeople is set on switching to another browser, so I'm going to lock this thread.

@kingofnicepeople, if you ever decide to try Firefox again, we're always here to help. Best of luck.
