Longtime Firefox user. I hate it now.

There's a whole bunch of features in Firefox that I really can't do without (Sync with my mobile phone browser, being able to save images to different folders depending on the website, and the massively-useful-despite-how-much-of-a-horrid-security-risk-it-is ability to view saved passwords for a domain) that means I'll probably be stuck with it unless... well, I doubt Chrome will ever adopt the latter two features. Yes, I'm aware that Chrome also has sync, but it doesn't work as well as Firefox's.

I've always disliked Chrome; disliked the UI, disliked the lack of customisation and features, disliked how awfully optimised it is with regards to multiple tabs. As awful as Firefox is right now, it still does a lot more than Chrome for my needs.

But I can't stress how much of a mess Firefox 29 is. I honestly really can't wait for the touchscreen and mobile markets to crash just so we can go back to functional user interfaces without turning menus into ugly icon panels and labelling the whole thing as a trendy "app launcher".

I spent a little time and effort rolling back my install to 28 not long after I noticed a bug that made every possible icon that could appear in the address bar actually appear in the address bar. Rolled it back and made damn sure I disabled the "search for new updates" option on all my devices. 28 works just fine for me.

Firefox 30 better forget Chrome exists and that I'm running a machine that has a mouse and a physical keyboard before I even think of upgrading to it.
When in mortal danger,
When beset by doubt,
Run in little circles,
Wave your arms and shout.
