That's quite a rant :)

1. My experience: I have not experienced Firefox being significantly slower than Chrome. I personally do not notice anything. Firefox on Android works amazingly (better than Chrome significantly). I have not seen Firefox crash yet.

2. Your experience: It is just a rant. You are not contributing anything good to this world and the only good thing about your rant is understanding that people might have your problem. Like Mozilla doesn't know this problem and has not done anything towards that. You could have written the same rant more positively, maybe with some metrics and ideally with analysis what must be improved. Firefox is open source browser.

My intention was not to sound like rant but if I did then it's my bad. I notice the issues with ubuntu a lot and I was big fan of it as mentioned above but not anymore as you know the reason. I get paid for developing application which work on browsers and not make browsers work fast. The point is big number of devs won't be able to give their time to make browsers better but that does not mean they can't say bad is bad.

I'm sorry, but Chrome doesn't work better then Firefox on Ubuntu. Actually, you need to install Chromium instead! You pointed Chrome + Ubuntu, which is not very stable compared with Chromium.

For web development, I think the Dev tools on FF are getting better, so I'm still using Firebug. I often use both Firefox + Chrome and I don't think one is better then another. I do trust Firefox, comparing with Chrome, the latest looks like a bot, maybe google new web spider ? Well, looks like (Urls magically appearing in their list, etc), not sure.

Firefox and Chrome teams are extremely important, they're bringing new stuff all the time, researching, etc! I wouldn't say their work is bad!

If you can't do better, STFU!

What Firefox version do you use? While I would expect from Ubuntu to update firefox regularly.

[deepak-kumar]

FF 25.x.x and FF Nightly build 28.0a1 (2013-11-19). I do see some improvements in latest dev builds.

I don't have problems even with 25 version but again that might be very individual: different sites, different projects and etc.

There is one little thing you can do: enable all reporting in Advanced settings if you have not done that yet. Mozilla will get at least some information that might be later used for browser improvements.

Thanks for reminding me the option and yeah with js heavy application/projects FF is not doing well for me atleast.
