I also need the browser to suit my way of working. For example, I hate tiny stop/reload buttons at the far end of the address bar as it's the opposite side of the screen to the other navigational controls, so feels illogical and messy to me.<br /><br /> Firefox used to be perfect and customisable, but Firefox 29 screwed a lot of that. They crippled the customisability, the Australis tabs look dreadful if you shrink the size and pack a lot of them together, and they also disposed of the status bar as well.<br /><br /> Modern Firefox therefore is just a pale Chrome imitation these days. It's very sad to see that their response to losing market share wasn't to make themselves more unique, it was to copy Chrome's interface and dump a load of customisability and power that Firefox used to have. Since the change, the loss of market share of Firefox has only accelerated funnily enough.<br /><br /> Must admit that I've never really tried Chrome for a long period of time, only as a "second browser" now and again. Still, Pale Moon is everything that Firefox used to be, so does me fine <span class="emoticon e_smile" title=":)"><span class="e__">:)</span></span><br /> </div> <div class="message_footer"> <div class="message_footer_links"><a href="lpost.php?webtag=DEFAULT&reply_to=41242.19&return_msg=41242.12" class="reply"><span class="image post"></span>Reply</a></div> <div class="message_vote_form" data-msg="41242.19"> <span class="rating">+1/1</span> <span class="image vote vote_down vote_down_off" title="Vote Down"></span> <span class="image vote vote_up vote_up_off" title="Vote Up"></span> </div> </div> </div><a name="a41242_20"></a><div class="message" id="message_41242_20"> <div class="message_header"> <div class="message_from"> From: johngti_mk-ii<span class="message_time">19 Oct 2014 22:10</span> <div class="clearer"></div> </div><div class="message_to">To: Dave!! <span><span class="image post_read" title="Read: 22 Oct 2014 21:10"></span></span> <span class="message_count">20 of 22</span><div class="clearer"></div> </div> </div> <div class="message_links"> <a href="lmessages.php?webtag=DEFAULT&msg=41242.20">41242.20</a> In reply to <a href="lmessages.php?webtag=DEFAULT&msg=41242.12#a41242_19" target="_self">41242.19</a></div> <div class="message_body"> Pale moon?
