    It may even be as crude as editing the extension to support higher release versions. Like there's a line in the code for the extension (it's confusingly called a chrome I think) that says "what version is this compatible with" and the extension will fail if the Firefox version is higher.

    That's not necessarily the only problem, but it might be worth a look if you really, really need an extension.

    Just switched to chrome. I like getting rid of the bloat.

    Though Chrome needs more addon support.

    Edit: It has actually greatly expanded since I last used it, even has ad-block plus. I am going to try it out.

    I'm beginning to think that I should throw in with our Google overlords and switch to Chrome. Firefox is just being a little too odd for me.

    Try opera, if for no other reason than to stick it to our Google overlords.

    Lemur, Chrome is working far better for me.

    I used to use Firefox with a theme mod to make it very minimalistic, and the only other addons was the "Sync" function (handy as I use up to 3 computers regularly) and Adblock plus.

    I switched to Chrome, it loads far faster, quicker and better, less bloated, it has adblock plus and it's "Sync" function is superior to Firefox's and less buggy. In all, it was a great switch and I moved to Chrome on those systems I used and I recommend you do the same.


    (Lack of Adblock plus, etc, was the reason I switched back to Firefox when I was on Chrome years ago)
