Guys, I won't lie, I love FF, but man does it make my fan go. Even the new, lighter FF 57, though better than the last iterations, is still power-hungry.
But as with most of you, the callous disregard for the Extensions that made FF is what has really got me thinking. For the foreseeable future, I'll use Chrome (would prefer Safari, but it's not as well supported by the community as Chrome and FF are). Happy to relaunch FF once all this is sorted out, if ever.
