Feedback Summary

Desktop

We have no new incendiary issues. We continue to see reports of various crashes due to 3rd party issues.

  • We are seeing an increase in reports that FF 18.0.1 is not compatible with Kim Dotcom's newest venture[1]. Details on the issue can be found the Mega site[2].
  • Seeing a few reports that search on about:home is not working. Probably addon related, but FF reset doesn't correct the issue.[3][4][5][6][7][8][9]

Praise

  • I used to be a Chrome fan, but it started eating up too much of my ram. So I installed Firefox and here I am today! It works 100% better than Chrome did on my computer! Firefox for the win!
  • All things became much easier and the important thing, It is : SAFE & TRUSTED.
  • Yes! Congratulations! for having ranked the most trusted Internet service provider. All the best for Firefox team.
  • its really a great browser because i can now have faster browsing easily.
