Firefox 13 PC not a tablet!

Post by StarBound »

So got a nice pop up stating Firefox 13 is ready to install. So now I am sitting with a browser that is acting like a tablet trying to smooth my scrolling on my screen.

I hear Chrome is the bomb.

Ja, you may miss an extension or two by moving to Chrome (FireFTP, where art thou?) but overall I reckon you'll be happier with it.

I'm not entirely ready to skin the fox :P Atleast you can disable the function but it is sad that that is the way things are heading. I am using chrome at work but at home where all my high lights are book marked I still prefer FF. It is interesting to hear some of my friends uses Oprha ect.

Opera at work, Opera at home and Opera on my phone. Opera is the way to go.

excuse my ignorance. but what is so bad about smooth scrolling?

i don't notice anything :?

My grip with Firefox has been how sluggish its been getting.

I also feel i should leave for chrome since i have an Android.

Dolphin is better on Android than the Fox

Essencially the smooth scroll slows down scrolling down a web page. Covers less distance.

It's easier to disable it than to ***** about it.
