Firefox Fights Back - Firefox 57

It's still my default browser. Very happy with it:)

I am as well

Kind of like MS has been trying to do with the W8 and W10 fiascoes, Mozilla has spent the last 6 years attempting to drive off the majority of their user base.
Unlike MS, Mozilla succeeded, so it's doubtful that they'll ever be relevant again.


I switched to Pale Moon ~4 years ago on my Windows 7 PCs.
I also use PM on my W10Pro VMs and W10 Home laptop ("blech").

I still use FF on my XP install (real & virtual).
There's no point trying to find/install a different browser, as I almost never browse the Internet in XP.

I also use FF in Linux Mint.
It's the default browser and there's nothing else available/worth using.

I am using FF NIghtly (57) on both Linux and Windows. Now that the Linux version is, apparently, updating automatically, I'm going to use it but I probably spend a bit more time with Chrome Canary (Windows) or Chrome Beta(Linux). With a release date more than two months away I feel it's coming along. One thing (and I hope somebody here can help) is when I do a search in Chrome I am forced to use Baidu but my default is DuckDuckGo. Let I cannot find Baidu anywhere in the Chrome program.

Guess I'm sticking with FF or some offshoot of it such as Pale Moon. Wish I could like Chrome. But after trying it numerous times, I just flat-out don't.

I'm with you on that.I've used FF since version 3 and around four times a year give Chrome a go. Think the longest I've stayed on Chrome is 4 days then I'm back to FF. I guess it's just a case of not being familiar with Chrome and being too lazy tp bother learning.

Is Pale Moon compatible with RoboForm? That would be the deal-maker/breaker with me.

The latest Nightly build of 57 is working great, remember ut still has to go through a BETA stage.
