Yes, before someone asks, I am using the very latest version of Firefox and I regularly update it. :-)	Billy (6701)

Because I see no need for multiple browsers and chrome seems to be the most widely supported I've stuck with it. It may not be the fastest or the best, but for me at least it's been the most dependable. Prior to that I used FF for quite a few years. On the other had the whole video issue really annoyed me. Supposedly you can rent a movie from the play store and play it back in whatever browser you like. That was the official story at the time at least. So I rented a movie to try it out (Before Netflix was a thing here) and couldn't get it to play. FF, Edge, IE, none of them would play the movie, didn't want to waste my money so I installed chrome and away it went. Seems all a bit dodgy and underhanded but it converted me to chrome anyway. Incidentally I've tried to like edge a few times now, but I just can't do it.	dugimodo (138)

However, I'm finding there's a crazy lag in communicating to websites, and the lag seems to be on the outgoing end, waiting for FF to process a request to talk to whatever website. Websites load fine, and fast, once that initial communication is actually initiated, and a speed test shows good ping, etc, yet the responsiveness to clicking any link is definitely 'retarded' at best.

Chrome works fine for me. But I don't like it. I read somewhere that it's because FF doesn't suppose flash anymore but Chrome does. I don't know if this is true?	Billy (6701)

Always test in any browser with a decent market share (that includes Firefox). All browsers still support Flash, they just do so begrudgingly.	pcuser42 (130)
1455173	2018-10-31 19:06:00	Same here. I can't get onto my Outlook website now with FF, and another suppliers website.Have to use Chrome to access them.	Neil McC (178)
1455174	2018-10-31 19:30:00	Suddenly this morning almost every site I type into the address bar gives me The page isn’t redirecting properly Firefox has detected that the server is redirecting the request for this address in a way that will never complete. This problem can sometimes be caused by disabling or refusing to accept cookies Cleared cache, cookies etc. In fact deleted cookies manually as well. If I google the site, then click select it they load fine. Ditto pressf1.co.nz Haven't changed anything at all, no new version or whatever.	piroska (17583)
1455175	2018-10-31 19:58:00	Ive come across very few site that dont work in FF, those sites often dont work in Chrome either . I use IE for those. But, I have an ad-blocker in FF, that may be helping by blocking the crap that could otherwise cause issues ?	1101 (13337)
