I wish they put some effort into making Firefox better.

To me, lately Firefox has been a pain in the ass to use. Regular silent updates that forces me to restart the browser and close all my work. Saving my session doesn't always help to continue working where it was interrupted.

The latest change to the downloads is horrible. Sometimes my work requires me to download hundreds of files that I only want to open with some software for several seconds, then dismiss it. Now instead of being able to open it directly from the browser, I have to watch how everything is saved in my downloads folder and then waste my time deleting all those files manually.

I'm not paying them any money. I don't want to waste my money only to see their executives getting richer without anything in return.

I'm using FF only because there are no other options for me (I've tried).

I miss old Opera.

Same here.

To me it's starting to feel like Windows several years ago. Features that don't bring anything new to the table but pushes their own agenda.

I've been using linux for years now and I can't be happier but I can't find a replacement to Firefox. FF is so good that even it's being sabotaged it's better than all the alternatives.

Sadly the engineering behind a browser is no joke and I don't think anybody else will create or work on an alternative to Webkit/Blink.
