Now if Firefox could just remember the last "save-to" location with any kind of reliability we would be set!

Nice! It is nice that firefox is doing so well these days and catching up on speed, even though it's not most important for me.

never noticed that issue as I always use Internet Download Manager (the best download manager on the planet) so it always saves to one location that I specified: d >> downloads

it also gives u the ability to easily download any flash / you tube / etc. video by providing a download link next to the video or audio you are viewing

I don't like saving to one location, I prefer to always tell Firefox where I want the current download stored. Normally Firefox will remember the last used location when you trigger another download dialogue. With the last few versions it will randomly pick any one of three or four last used locations which is a bit of a pain when doing bulk downloads. I can get this to repeat using the Linux or Windows version (I have reported it). For now I have just started using Chromium instead.

you sure you aren't in the private browsing mode?

I am not using private browsing mode. You only really notice this if you do a bunch of downloads to different directories.

 

[Matt1970]

I just installed Firefox and Chrome on a system and Chrome seemed snappier.

 

[gevorg]

Who cares? Both are fast enough.

Meanwhile, Firefox still can't sandbox, and still can't run separate processes per tab/plugin/etc.

 

[MontyAC]

I run FF in Sandboxie.

 

[ImDonly1]

Both are pretty much very close within one another, but glad to see FF on top since it is my browser of choice.

 

[tommy2q]

Chrome prevents my computer from sleeping. Anyone else have this problem?

My Firefox 22 seems to remember where I downloaded based on what site I'm downloading from.

For example, if I download desktop wallpapers from The Paper Wall website and then go download some files from various other sites (no matter what they are or how many) and save them in various different folders when I go back to The Paper Wall and download a wallpaper it always seems to default back to the same folder on my PC where I downloaded the earlier desktop wallpaper. If I download something from Deviantart it remembers where I downloaded to and the next time I download from Deviantart it defaults to that folder.

It does this for any and every website I download anything from and I like that.

Every now and then it seems to get confused but not often enough for it to be a problem.

I get the same behavior. It's only four or five directories, but it keeps them pretty straight.

Why do you want that? That would consume a lot of RAM and that is what crappy Chrome does.

Security and more stability if some website/plugin fails. I have plenty of RAM.

Chrome is crap IMHO since customisation is terrible,that's why I use Firefox and old Opera since you get speed,customisation etc...you could not pay me to use Chrome.

I always thought FF was getting faster especially from the old days,it's a great browser that does it all.

Ditto, also, just trey to scroll up / down quickly through your bookmarks and see how laggy Chrome is, the bookarms manager sucks really bad and they have done nothing in Chrome all across this meaningless version updates every other day to improve it

Everytime I uninstall Chrome, I make sure to fill out the survey and mention my concerns and they are never fixed

1) Whenever you sync your bookmarks in Chrome using Xmarks for the first time, you losee all the favicons! kept complaining but they are not fixing this issue, dunno if its chrome or Xmarks, but they should know better to contact the developer for one of the most popular extentions to fix it as its only making them look bad

2) the interface sucks, the themes are a joke

3) the downloads manager's interface sucks even more

4) the bookmarks manager is the worst I've seen


the only thing Chrome has is speed, and now that's gone too!

MUWHAHAHA

 

[oynaz]

Honestly, I do not care if I use Chrome or Firefox. Both are great.

Same here. Both are great to me.

I use firefox for the color management, but I have found its performance to be poor. It easily becomes unresponsive. Just look up something on google images and try to scroll down. I don't think these metrics capture responsiveness. I will try v22 but these updates tend to be extremely minor.

What extensions do you have installed?

I prefer the old google image search.

Time to try out Firefox again. I switched to Chrome, but would prefer to support Mozilla. And it fits my requirement of "Anything Other Than IE"
