In the biggest shakeup in the browser industry since Microsoft was forced to uncouple Internet Explorer from Windows, Google's Chrome burst on the scene in 2008, forcing new standards in browser speed, streamlined design, and rapidly iterating software, forcing all the other players to overhaul their own sluggish software as they played catch up to the nimble newcomer. Chrome spent several years as PCMag Editor's Choice, but it's been surpassed in speed and features, and it has sunk to a three-way tie for second place as former favorite Firefox has reasserted its lead. With a beautifully redesigned interface, excellent performance, thrifty memory use, helpful browsing tools, and leading customizability, the independent open-source browser has reclaimed PCMag.com's Editors' Choice for browsers.

I never faced anything of that sort. Sometimes the plugins hang but that's about it.

Don't want to go into a fanboy war, but I like Chrome much better than FF (inspite of it's disadvantages, though every software have it's set of advantages and disadvantages).

Chrome is practical, Firefox is stable, simple. Everyone uses YouTube, and Chrome handles YouTube best, period. But every once in a while Chrome ****s up, doesn't load websites, while Firefox keeps working. One should have Firefox installed even if someone uses Chrome as main browser, that is if you are serious about browsing, not for Facebook people.

I always prefer chrome as my goto browser. Inspite of having firefox chrome provides me better usage and it's all the device sync function is what I always love about it.

A Chrome user, but love the new FireFox; it's better than ever.

I will happily switch to FireFox if I am able to get all my keyboard shortcuts to work FireFox.

Plus, Mozilla allows users to control everything, that's its best thing.

I think Firefox is only 32bit. There is no 64 bit.

This might help I guess : *support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1017813
