I switched from Chrome to Firefox 6 months ago when Google started playing games with it's ad blockers.

All of my Chrome extensions and features were supported by Firefox and I was a happy camper.

Then two problems got to me:

1. Slow performance on web apps like Gmail (use it for work)

2. Firefox regularly crashes (more than 10 times per day)

I'm trying to switch to the Brave browser (Chromium) now, but I was almost a Firefox convert.

Needless to say, crashing 10 times a day is not normal. :)

Can you share any Crash Report IDs from your Firefox's about:crashes page? The crash reports will say whether a bug has already been filed or fixed.

Firefox does not seem to crash on me. However, the FF performance has never been up to par. Especially with Google products(Gmail, Docs, etc.).

Doesn't that make you suspicious?

It might be your setup, I do not experience that. (I too use Gmail in FF.)
