A few lines of css (via userchrome or stylish), and it will look like:I was a big fan of firefox for many years, but like vbulletin, something better came along.

UI is much more customizable, also looks better and if you don't want the way it looks, get stylish and change it via CSS edits.

Eh. Still will use less RAM than Google Chrome.
I leave my browser open for days on end (I average about 7-10 days uptime at any given time) and Firefox almost always takes more resources than Chrome or Opera. They still haven't fully fixed a memory leak issue for extended browser sessions, and it locks up for me much more when I have 100+ tabs open.
Maybe so, but it was to point out that performance is actually worse over time than Chrome.I always turn my computer off at night when I go to bed, so it's not an issue for me.
In addition to Chrome also having Stylish (and dotjs, which has been ported to Firefox).. just wanted to add the font rendering is a bug with how it handles web fonts, affecting only Windows. It can be worked around, but only if you host the fonts locally.. so ironically Google's Font API doesn't work well with Chrome.Firefox all the way.
But it's less flexible than on FF and cannot change the browser UI.Just for the record, Google Chrome also has Stylish.
Well, you could enable the experimental DirectWrite support in Chrome and give up the sandbox. That should fix font rendering issues, but ruin the security concept. Not a deal I would make though.In addition to Chrome also having Stylish (and dotjs, which has been ported to Firefox).. just wanted to add the font rendering is a bug with how it handles web fonts, affecting only Windows.

"Looks" is always subjective, of course.I find the "looks" to be a bit subjective, but Firefox is less resource intensive and the UI is more customizable.
uninstall firefox if you're using it now.Maybe so, but it was to point out that performance is actually worse over time than Chrome.
