Love Firefox, but not a fan of their latest version. It’s been crashing left and right, slow, unresponsive, buggy and to be honest more than a bit annoying.
It’s quiet out there
On this morning of social networks outages where Facebook is iffy and Twitter is down it’s nice to enjoy a cup of coffee in “peace” 😉 By the way, I wonder if they both run on the same hardware or are in the process of merging? Update: As a was going through my RSS feeds I came across info on …
