SineWave reviewed v51.0.1 on Jan 29, 2017

I've been using Firefox for many years, first in Windows XP and then in Debian. At some point betas as well as normal releases became too unstable for me to use so I started using ESR versions. Now even ESR versions seem like betas. Something is just not right with Firefox any more. It lags in about everything you do with it, but I'm so dependent on it. Sad. It must be overbloated with trashy code, I don't see any other reason why it is so laggy. And in the mean time I changed three PCs in the last 10 years. The one I have now is far more powerful than the first one. Mozilla, please hire some better coders and/or make a new browser from the ground up. This is going nowhere and I'm considering using alternatives. You've lost so many users in the last 10 years and it is perfectly understandable why. It' a shame though because we do need an open source browser. Good luck! Can't give you more than 3 stars and that is for the effort. Your programmers suck big time.

tontito reviewed v7.0 Alpha 1 (Nightly Build) on May 27, 2011

Do they really need to different versions for alpha builds?...

Alpha258 reviewed v4.0 on Mar 22, 2011

Use the PPA for Ubuntu if you want to get the latest stable version in your updates.

Open Ubuntu Software Center>> Edit>> Software Sources...

Click Other Software tab and click Add.

Then just paste:

ppa:mozillateam/firefox-stable

Click close. Open your Update Manager and you can upgrade from 3.6 to version 4.0. Sweet!!

DudeBoyz reviewed v3.0.4 on Nov 12, 2008

I like much about 3.0.4. It installs over existing versions without breaking anything, so my plug-ins and themes are fine.

However, this specific version under LINUX has some Serious Font Rendering Problems, especially compared to Opera 9.x for Linux.

On the Windows side, this issue does not seem to exist. But under the Linux distrobutions I have tested it with (Kubuntu, Mandrake 2009, openSUSE 11.x and others) the font rendering is very, very poor compared to Opera.

If you have any doubts about the veracity of my claims, please, test it for yourself. It is painfully obvious, and very frustrating.

It is because of that problem in particular that I'm rating Firefox lower on the Linux side than on the Windows side.

If there is some way that they can fix that font problem in the browser engine, I'll bump it up a notch in score. But until then, a 3 is what I think it deserves.

thehunger reviewed v1.5 RC1 on Nov 1, 2005

All I know is I updated to v1.4.99-1 that became available in Suser Guru's apt repository and got into trouble. At first the browser seemed to work flawless.
Then I discovered I couldnt log in to my company's CRM system (over SSL) - it gave me an unknown user / password error. I then tried to log in to my online bank, which didnt work.

I tried clearing the cache, cookies, sessions, certificates and then reimport my certs etc. but nothing worked. Meanwhile with Konqueror I -was- able to authenticate.

The moral of it all is dont be too eager to upgrade. Firefox still needs better QA. I guess thats why betas are available, but this time I was just plain disappointed.

Be warned, and backup your bookmarks etc before you install this one.

fair_is_fair reviewed v1.5 Beta 2 RC on Oct 6, 2005

Firefox is ok but it is nothing special. It is well supported and updated often. This is mainly to address security flaws. Unfortunately, extensions are not updated as quickly as FF itself. Waiting for them and reinstalling them is a pain.

I find Opera much superior and very secure.

Mozilla suite is often overlooked. It has some fine features including plugins and extensions. It has a terrific email client built in.

K-meleon is the fastest of the lot. It is not updated often but does work well.

ganjamanja reviewed v1.0 Final on Feb 19, 2005

I install Firefox on ANY windows machine that needs the internet. It's the only way to avoid popups, spyware and all the other troubles caused by IE's terrible intergration into Windows.
One thing I do not see on their site, or on any other reccommendation for Firefox:
This browser is based very much on Apple's Safari browser.
I do not know if people just dont realise it, or if they'd just rather not say it, but any OS X user will immediately notice that the really nice format of "Customize Toolbar", which is of course found nowhere else on other OS's, is identical to Mac OS X's system-wide "Customize Toolbar" functionality. The "Bookmark this Page" dialog is identical to OS X's default Save/Open Dialog, found on every OS X program.
Safari also has plugin capabilities to alter the UI or add functions. Since the OS X version of Firefox is so afwully buggy, and looks+acts terrible compared to Safari (which is strange considering it's been made to act the same), I will certainly stick with Safari.
On Linux or Windows, though, this browser is easily the best. For me at least, it has the added bonus of bringing some of the unique interface functions from the Mac OS to other platforms that may otherwise never see nice UI enhancements like these. It would be nice if people actually *knew* that though...

tomc reviewed v1.0 Final on Jan 17, 2005

This is easily the best Linux web browser. Less bloaty than full Mozilla, more standards compliant than the old Netscape 4.x, no banner ads like Opera, and not reliant on KDE like Konqueror. This is really important, as Linux will never make it as a desktop operating system without a good quality web browser - and now we have it.

marcos_cu reviewed v1.0 Final on Nov 9, 2004

First of all, I hope all Mac OSX users have at least dumped IE and installed safari. I mean IE has been and will be the worst browser on that platform.

Now, onto firefox: it provides a breath of fresh air to the scene. It has a vast extension library and live bookmarks RSS support, which are not present on safari. Due to its extensible architecture, it also supports some safari features, such as spell checking (go to spellbounr.sf.net and download the extension). It's also a lot faster than safari in terms of page rendering. Lastly, it sports the elegant pinstripe theme, which in my opinion, is one of the best Mac OSX Aqua looks (better than the metal look of safari!)

If you have to have a native Mac OSX browser, try Camino from Mozilla.org. It has the same fast rendering speed as firefox, with a cocoa interface and better OS intergration (native spell checking, rendezvous intergration etc.) It also has a really colorful aqua theme: trust me, you will like it better than safari.

thehunger reviewed v1.0 Preview Release (0.10.1) Final on Oct 3, 2004

Simply awesome browser! On Windows I replaced MyIE2 (now Maxthon) with it. On Linux its the best browser, period.
BTW, if youre using KDE: The KDE developers recently ported Firefox to be a -native- KDE application, with proper integration with KDEs cookie manager, KDEs password wallet and written as a replacement for khtml - meaning Firefox could be the HTML engine in Konqueror! All supported by the Mozilla organization. So expect an ever better browser in the future.

Finally, try this really neat trick in Firefox. Type in the URL about:config and you get access to *alot* of settings!

Stop wasting your time reading these reviews and go download Firefox!! There's no debate...when your running Linux, Firefox is a must.

losinggeneration reviewed v1.0 Preview Release (0.10) Final on Sep 18, 2004

Mozilla has been around the Linux community since Netscape released their source. It's hard to find someone who uses Linux who doesn't know about Mozilla. With the release of 1.0Preview Release, there is finally a lighter/smaller (the Mozilla binary installer is 13MB and the Firefox binary installer is 8MB.) The main difference between Firefox and Mozilla suite are mostly cosmetic. Though Firefox had additional enhancements which Mozilla either doesn't have or that's just Incorporated more smoothly. Overall Firefox isn't so big a jump away from Mozilla suite. It's a browser only (with enhancements) version of Mozilla suite. They have done a good job so far with Firefox, but they still have a bit more (mostly minor bug fixes now) before it goes gold.

Very, very good. The people at Mozilla are doing an excellent job with Phoenix. This is the fastest version yet. The final will be interesting. By the way, for those complaining about features. Don't use Phoenix. This is supposed to be a browser only. I have other programs for newsgroups, email, chatting etc. Lets have a program that does what its best at, gathering sites for reading and info. Phoenix does that best of all right now. I run WinXP for those interested.

What are talking about Freetype all the time? Use Google and you'll find out that Mozilla (and surely also Phoenix) does support Freetype2. There are roughly 10000 results when you search Google for +mozilla +freetype2. One of the results was this page: http://www.dslreports.com/faq/4552

I gave this a rating of 5 for windows, but I couldn't give the linux version this score for the following reason. NO FREETYPE 2 SUPPORT!!! Come on mozilla team, this is *THE* major problem with this browser. I'd give both Mozilla and Pheonix a score of 6 out of 5 if this desparately required feature was present. - Maybe the next release?
