Firefox Quantum / Firefox 57 has a nasty UI and has excessive resource consumption meaning it runs slowly on anything except the latest hardware.  The Firefox Extended Support Release (ESR) is better but on Linux Ubuntu or Mint it seems to be a dog and also very resource intensive.  Running Firefox and Chrome at the same time or Firefox and Evolution at the same time seems to result in Internet browsing grinding to a slow crawl if not a complete stop.  Lets face it, the current Mozilla team is really screwing up Firefox and as an alternative Chrome lacks adequate privacy and security.* [[Pale Moon]] web browser - The superior UI of the classic Firefox and a much smaller memory footprint (runs fast on linux!) and compatible with many Firefox extensions including [[NoScript]].* [[Pale Moon]] web browser - The superior UI of the classic Firefox and a much smaller memory footprint (runs fast on linux!) and compatible with many Firefox extensions including [[NoScript]].  Pale Moon version 27 running with the NoScript extension for added security was capable of correctly rendering popular sites including eBay and Amazon.com with complete functionality.  Furthermore, as with Amazon.com being site burdened with excessive JavaScript and CSS and has always been problematic when using Firefox, runs very nicely on Pale Moon.  The rendering speed of Amazon.com with the exception added to NoScript allowing full site features active was just as fast as with Chrome.  The only criticism of Pale Moon at this time is the installation process would be better if compatible with the APT package management tool rather than their installer, although their installer works fine with the exception of a glitch in the home user cache directory.
