Firefox users

[Si.]

Anyone else having issues? I'm finding Firefox is coming increasingly unreliable. Crashes, wheel of death, sometimes just hanging and refusing to close.

Wondering if anyone else is having issues?

I use Safari for most things and Edge if I get any issues. I find Firefox looks a bit weird and I’ve not used it in years.

I haven't tried Edge.. I do prefer Safari, but I find the Firefox privacy settings better which is why I use it.

Which settings? One massive benefit of Safari is the power consumption, it has always been quite a bit less than other browsers.

Things like Firefox containers I really like. Keeps websites in their own containers and they can't talk cross container.. for example, I have all my social media open in 1 container so separate form other apps.. Stops them from tracking what you're doing.

 

[ChrisD.]

There's no containers within Safari as far as I know but it does prevent cross site tracking by default.

Firefox is spot on for me, I use it for daily duties and work on a 2019 and 2013 MBP (web developer). Have you run with addons disabled to check it's not one of those playing up?
