RIP Firefox

After being a fanatical Netscape/Firefox user for 15 years I was forced to switch to Chrome due to Mozzilla's absolute incompetence. For half a year Firefox has been continually bringing my computer to a halt through utilizing all my CPU and RAM resources. So I finally installed Chrome. As a software engineer and a web developer I thought I would extend Mozilla the courtesy of explaining the departure of a loyal customer. So I went to Mozilla's comment page, but was unable to to leave a comment because I wasn't running the current version of Firefox. So I fired up Firefox and returned to the page and selected the option to express I was unhappy with Firefox, but they only had a 120 character limit to the message. I couldn't submit the message I wrote. I was outraged!!! I went to their Facebook page but it only allows you to "like" Firefox and doesn't allow the posting of messages. I have uninstalled Firefox from my computer. Mozzilla has dug a hole, jumped in and pulled the hole in behind them. And the hole is their grave. RIP Firefox!

    Let me add that the straw that broke the camels back was not my frustration with how Firefox itself ran, but Mozilla's appearance of a trying to radically limit customer input! As a software developer I know things can go wrong, but you always insure that the lines of communication are open. The attempt to limit communicate when things are not going well is tantamount to committing product suicide!

    Funny, I just switched back to Firefox for development due to the prevalence of tab crashes in Chrome.
