Hey I just switched back to FF and it has this feature that prevents redirects, I like it, but wish there was some way to whitelist sites. I searched add-ons but most of the hits are either adding this feature (old extensions) or trying to modify redirects directly. Suggestions?

Are you using Web of Trust?

I don't even know what that is. No it's part of FF, under options, advanced, general, accessibility. I'm going to turn it off until I can figure out a way to control it because pretty much every forum uses redirects when you post.

I switched from FF to chrome some years ago and started to switch back but noticed some things. YouTube videos look washed out compared to chrome. FF feels slow, its hard to explain but the mouse feels slower, the program feels slow, like its all stuck in virtual molasses. Anything that can be done about those?

It sounds like you have outdated videocard drivers that are causing Firefox to disable hardware acceleration. Make sure you download the latest drivers from your GPU manufacturer (Intel, AMD, or nVidia).

Whatever it was fixed itself. I had installed a new video card last night, I did update the drivers. But while I was gone today W10 installed more updates and problem solved. It even feels a little snappier. Chalk one up for MS.

Looks like I picked the wrong time to switch back to Firefox from Chrome.

Why? Firefox has never been more Chrome-like, or at a closer feature parity with Chrome. It's only long-time Firefox users who are getting dinged by these changes. If you're coming from Chrome, what recent changes to Firefox are making it worse than Chrome?

Salr is dead apparently. Otherwise I'm not having any problems just saw all the complaints

It's not. The chrome one has been ported over and I think it just needs to be submitted to Mozilla now.

Cool. Chrome has been aggravating me for awhile and seems to be a memory hog so I decided to move back to Firefox. Also, text looks way better in FF for some reason.
