Firefox, followed by Pale Moon and Waterfox are by far the best browsers for power users due to the vast extensions, many of which others do not have. Google Chrome or IE cannot even do multiple tab rows or save sessions! (I have about 200 tabs open now on two FF programs)

Likely you have other issues. Try a new profile Make a shortcut on your desktop to "C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe" -no-remote -p if you have a 64 bit OS, or "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe" -no-remote -p if not.

I’m a big fan of Pale Moon, which is just a fork of Firefox that’s gutted all the unnecessary crap and fixed most of the memory leaks, something Mozilla refuses to do.

Runs all FF addons as long as you don’t go past version 24.7.1 x86 and don’t let it update.

I run with Adblock Plus, BetterPrivacy, Element Hiding Helper for Adblock Plus, CookieCuller, Flash Video Downloader Youtube HD Download, IE View, Pale Moon Commander, Ref Control, View About, Tab Mix Plus, and Visited. I have mixed feelings about Blur, but use it to stop trackers. It can be annoying, but useful.

Ref Control lets you bypass certain firewalls like the Wall Street Journal firewall. TabMixPlus is a big win for power users. Adbock Plus is indispensable, and it’s Element Hiding Helper lets you easily nuke annoyances on individual web sites. BetterPrivacy let’s you nuke LSO’s. CookieCuller is a great cookie manager; very useful for preserving login cookies but nuking the rest.
