My intention was not to sound like rant but if I did then it's my bad. I notice the issues with ubuntu a lot and I was big fan of it as mentioned above but not anymore as you know the reason. I get paid for developing application which work on browsers and not make browsers work fast. The point is big number of devs won't be able to give their time to make browsers better but that does not mean they can't say bad is bad.

I'm sorry, but Chrome doesn't work better then Firefox on Ubuntu. Actually, you need to install Chromium instead! You pointed Chrome + Ubuntu, which is not very stable compared with Chromium.

For web development, I think the Dev tools on FF are getting better, so I'm still using Firebug. I often use both Firefox + Chrome and I don't think one is better then another. I do trust Firefox, comparing with Chrome, the latest looks like a bot, maybe google new web spider ? Well, looks like (Urls magically appearing in their list, etc), not sure.

Firefox and Chrome teams are extremely important, they're bringing new stuff all the time, researching, etc! I wouldn't say their work is bad!

If you can't do better, STFU!

What Firefox version do you use? While I would expect from Ubuntu to update firefox regularly.

FF 25.x.x and FF Nightly build 28.0a1 (2013-11-19). I do see some improvements in latest dev builds.
