    6 tabs open without flash content, 48% of CPU usage and 312MB of memory consumption, I'm user of firefox since v1.5 and I saw the downfall since v4 to this crap, I'm really tired of it, I think I'll try opera or be back to FF v3.6.20 since I dislike chrome too.

    This browser doesn't need a review, it needs an exterminator. My security system wouldn't auto-update, backup software was non-functional and system cleaner didn't work.

    Mozilla can have this back with a loud NO!

    I'm frustrated with these rapid releases.

    In part because things that worked perfectly in v3.6.x do not work - either at all or in part - in 12.

    Adblock Plus in 3.6 works incredibly well. But in 12, even with that option unselected to allow certain ads through, there are a Bunch of ads that get through. I will check out Google News and ads that do not show up on 3.6.x show up in 12. Same thing for YouTube and many other channels.

    The skin I use, Past Modern, does not work with 12 either.

    TabMix Plus works differently, as does Custom Geometry - and I seem to lose some functionality.

    I really dig Firefox. v3.6.27 works GREAT for me. Why do they have to go and break stuff that works?

    Fast and clean. Firefox may be catching up with Pale Moon finally.

    Wow, noticeable improvement in speed and loading of pages. Want even faster rendering? Go to about:config and enable SPDY. This is also the last version that will work on Windows 2000 and older OSes. Can't wait for Fx13. Major speed and performance boost coming. Woot!
