Title: Mozilla FireFox replacement
Post by: Ichiban on April 06, 2014, 11:43:30 AM
For those of you who might be looking for a replacement for Mozilla FireFox, checkout Pale Moon.  It is FireFox based as well but not a Mozilla product.

Once you install it, it will point you to a third party tool that will install all of your FireFox setting from Mozilla.  Everything looks and functions just like before but you wont be supporting Mozilla.

If you want to let Mozilla know why you are dumping their FireFox try here

I've been using Firefox for 10 years and just made the switch this week. I mostly used it since I primarily used UNIX up until recently as my desktop so Firefox was really the only mainstream choice.  I switched to Safari and now I wonder why I didn't make the switch as soon as I started using a Mac, it's great.

I switched to Chrome some time ago because of speed issues.   FF was just getting to slow.  Now while I generally like Chrome, I'm trying to dis-entangle myself from Google's tentacles.  I will continue to use gmail, but I use Bing for all my searches and I've totally ignore all the G+ stuff for the last year.

Safari is okay, too.

Not FireFox in general, just the Mozilla version.
