I’ve had some recent issues with Firefox. Nothing that bad, just frequent crashes, corruptions, and an unwillingness to create new tabs with any sense of speed. I know that barebones Firefox probably wouldn’t have these issues and my problems are likely the result of some malicious script or bloated add-on. However, This would be the third time in two months I’ve had to wipe the software and start over clean slate.

Frankly, I’m sick of it. I love Firefox, but when software stops working for me in a repetitive fashion like this it’s time to find alternatives. I chose to go with Firefox’s cousin, Flock. Flock has many great social networking features already integrated (in fact I’m posting this from Flock itself, not a webpage in Flock, the application itself). It’s also based on the Mozilla Firefox codebase so the experience is very similar. I don’t have all my favorite add-ons, but i suspect porting them wouldn’t be that difficult.

Here’s to change!
