Hey, just watched the newest WAN program and noticed Linus often talks about issues with Firefox. I didn’t have any problems myself and thought he must keep his plugins updated. I discovered this website long ago that checks for outdated plugins. https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/plugincheck/ It’s probably not a big deal, just a helpful tip.

Many continue to employ Firefox. I've switched to Waterfox for some time now.

Waterfox offers a solid alternative with strong privacy features, though it may not match the performance of Chrome or Firefox in every scenario. It’s worth exploring if you value enhanced tracking protection.

It's essentially a 64-bit Firefox built from scratch. It isn't perfect, but no browser is. I've only made small adjustments in about:config because scrolling speed wasn't my priority. The other drawback is that plugins needing a 64-bit version are out of options, which means I still have to use Chrome for Google Voice. Luckily, this isn't a major problem since I don't rely on it often. On the positive side, my RAM usage dropped significantly compared to Chrome, and the memory leak issues common in Firefox aren't as bothersome with Waterfox. If you're considering giving it a shot, your settings, plugins, extensions, personas, and bookmarks will transfer over. I've been testing it for about a month now after hearing about it, and I'm satisfied with the result.

Absolutely, it’s going to be a wild ride! This app is super shaky—like Firefox, but way more erratic. It’s freezing no matter what you do.

I've been considering switching back to Firefox, but I'm planning to test WaterFox next. Edit: WaterFox works fine. It's still slower than Chrome, which is normal given Chrome's many optimizations. I'll stick with it.
