      I use FF -> Chromium -> Chrome

      I like the light nature of Chromium and not being able to use things I don't want like Flash.

        I'm liking what I see with Firefox Quantum so far. I don't use it nearly so heavily as Chrome tho, so I can't really compare too well.

        I tend to switch completely until I decide if I want to stick with it or not. The RAM usage fluctuates wildly. It seems to go up when my computer is asleep or I'm not actively using the browser.

            That was the first thing that made me go to Chromium on Linux, other than the other odd issues.

              Is that an issue on Cinnamon desktop?

                I think that's where I first noticed it... I found the fix that JB is probably talking about, but I didn't feel like dealing that that.
                I didn't give it a chance on other GUIs, so it may not be an issue on Gnome and others.

                  It affects any GTK dark theme.

                    It is a known issue with Firefox and dark GTK themes on Linux.
                    A 17 year old bug report in fact.
                    https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=70315

                    You can teak a setting manaully.
                    https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Firefox#Unreadable_input_fields_with_dark_GTK.2B_themes

                    Or use an add on.
                    https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/text-contrast-for-dark-themes/

                    The add on works for me this time around.

                      Turns out that was a runaway tab that I had left open. Killed the tab, and all was well.

                        I tried that addon a few months ago and it didn't work. Editing the .css file is what did it.

                        So now it's the opposite?

                          I prefer Firefox because

                          • Firefox still lets me see SSL certs from the address bar.
                          • Firefox lets me decide is I want to be able to execute jnlp files or not.

                            I never tried it last time. Did not see it. So I edited the .css. This time I tried the plugin and it works for ML. Have not been on other sites yet.

                              Not sure what you mean about jnlp, because when I click to view iDRAC console (as one example), it has me downlaod a .jnlp file. I choose whether or not to open it. If I want to open it, I select the program I want to use... which I usually use IcedTea.

                                This means I have to go through a save dialog 100% of the time.

                                      Not sure what you mean about jnlp, because when I click to view iDRAC console (as one example), it has me downlaod a .jnlp file. I choose whether or not to open it. If I want to open it, I select the program I want to use... which I usually use IcedTea.

                                      They know better than I, and refuse to allow me to always execute them.

                                      This means I have to go through a save dialog 100% of the time.

                                      Odd, this worked here.

                                      It works fine in Firefox. It is Chrome that blocks it.

                                        • Firefox lets me decide is I want to be able to execute jnlp files or not.

                                        Oh okay, sorry. Yes, same issue there. FF definitely beating Chrome for me there.

                                          FF was automatically updated to 57 on Fedora27. I tried it out and seems very noticibly faster than Chromium.
