<li>add-ons have to be signed and only by Mozilla, non-configurable at compile time</li>
<li>tracks you even if you disable all tracking in about:preferences</li>
<li>Geo location can only be totally disabled with about:config</li>
<li>Can’t choose a fallback(also weirdly called “Legacy”) encoding(old profile had it, about:preferences#content → Advanced(or Fonts, whatever) is shit, about:config is a mess)</li>
+ <li>Broken multitasking. With chrom* when a tab crashes there is only one, in firefox it’s multiple/all tabs. (I had this issue with e10s and I still got it since the first days)</li>
+ <li><a href="https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=858839">Do Not Track is not respected on Mozilla Websites</a>: Ignoring Do Not Track header, knowing nothing about what "tracking means" or what a "third-party" can do, being in this stupid reasoning where there is colateral tracking by Google Analytics and/or Ads Companies, also badly using the word "anonymous"(It means no name/identification).</li>

<li>more and more slowness and crashes and <strong>new profile doesn’t help</strong></li>

-<p>Quick and Dirty solution while I make my own browser while keeping a good privacy : Tor Browser(which use ESR) with <a href="/browser-setup">add-ons</a> for more privacy/security</p>
+<p>Current solution: None, all browsers sucks and none sucks less, so I’m in a constant change of web browser everyday. See: <a rel="next" href="/articles/www-client%20are%20broken">www-client are broken</a></p>
<p>BTW if <strong>everyone</strong> have to use a LTS/ESR/real-stable version of a browser even if they are actual developers… well why is the Developer Edition based on Nightly ? For badly supported things like H.264 ? gstreamer works(can be an interface to ffmpeg). For brand new stuff ? Well most web-smiths have to support old browsers like IE6 or IE7. For marketing because we are the browser with tons of features ? Well I think so. I think Netscape did the same mistake in the browser-war, why change things?</p>

+<p>Apparently since like… middle-late 2016 Mozilla Firefox is now better in Nightly than ESR. Whatever, it’s still broken for me.</p>
