Open Source Flame War :: home :: Thanksgiving Booyah
* Bye Bye Firefox *
comments
Up until this point, I have been an avid Firefox user, but I think my firefox days are numbered. The reason is that my Firefox simply uses too much memory. I caught it at a whopping 325MBs today! No wonder my laptop with 1GB of ram as been crawling. The thing I will miss the most as a Firefox user are the extensions that I used the most:
Adsense status bar
Greasmonkey to download google and youtube videos
Sessionsaver plugin (which functions like Avant's ability to save all of the active tabs so if your browser konks, you don't loose all of your tabs)
Colored tabs
Close button on tabs
It's going to take a while to migrate back to IE (maybe I should look into some browser shells that have some of the neat features found in firefox plugins). At least my favorites are on A9 so all I have to do is install the A9 bar to get them back.
If I ever have time (probably never), I may try to put back the missed functionality via MSDN's Browser Extensions guide.
