    I've been closely following development of Firefox for years and unfortunately I must say future looks less then bright.

    I must say I hate good number of people that made top ranks in mozilla team since v2. It's just depressing how many working hours just get wasted by stupid ideas. We have been yelling for mobile firefox long before opera fortified itself at number one, but they went for it like years later. Basically mozilla hired all kind of marketing, design and usability "experts" that look at magazines, TV, and IE for trends, then coders work on that idea for few years and in the end idea gets scraped because trend has changed. Time wasted, devs give up, and then leaders brainstorm something like - let's change version number so it matches chrome, let's change buttons so it match chrome/ie and some other nonsense. Real code work under the hood is still great, but I'm not sure it's so brilliant to outdo competition.

    Now that Chrome is open source and available for Android, if Google decides to push conversion of more FF extensions to Chrome, and give more power and freedom into user hands, I would be seriously worried about mozilla.

    i wouldn't be too worried about that. google are control freaks. i doubt they will ever allow the users as much freedom as the mozilla products do.

    and i have to agree to the rest you said. the development took odd paths every now and then

    Skeptics might think firefox has it's days numbered, but actually it has become such an important founding stone to the web environment that despite it slowing it's growth, it will be a very, very long time until it's actually gone.

    Currently I'm using Chrome/Chromium,I can find almost the same popular Firefox's extensions like AdBlock in the Chrome Web Store

    The extensions in the case of Chrome are growing and growing...

    Sadly, so does the browser's memory usage when you install them. Each addon seems to require an additional process.

    What's wrong with ScriptNo?

    I've had experiences when on some sites it doesn't block all the scripts.

    There's also NotScripts... that one didn't work too well in Opera, but Chrome might be different.

    That's a feature, not a bug. If an add-on decides to go spastic, it won't crash the whole browser (usually). The extra memory usage is a small price to pay for not losing all your tabs because something went haywire.

    I'm aware of that. The problem is, my hardware is pretty old, and so the price to pay isn't that small.
