It got better years ago. I stopped using it around the late 00's myself because it was consuming all of my RAM. But I started using it again about 5 years ago and it's better than chrome now.
Edited typos
I may have to give it another try then!
I bailed from Firefox for about a year after they added the godawful Firefox button (4.0 maybe?); then I got fed up with Chrome and by that point there was an extension to remove the Firefox button
What's the Firefox button? I don't use any extension to remove it, but I also don't see any button tied to FF itself that I need to remove.
Oh it's long dead now; this is what it looked like back then though
Thanks for the explanation
