Thanks for the replies. So far initial posts and votes are suggesting Avast and Firefox should co-exist without causing lagging and freezing.
Something I did not ask initially: does Avast have any particular settings that do cause problems, maybe things such as background disk scanning, database downloads.
I am not a developer and can not promise to improve Firefox, but I will attempt where possible to answer some support questions, improve answers and KB documents, and file bugs if previously unreported regressions or problems come to my attention.
... Instead of trying to keep up the rapid fire releases FF should put more effort into quality. ....
So it seems they are wrongly bashing avast. The problem isn't avast...it's Firefox itself. IMHO
I have had no problems with using avast and FF.
The rapid release policy is IMHO a good principle, but I agree it could have been implemented in a better manner. I think the teething troubles are subsiding now.
Firefox is not bashing Avast (well not on this occasion anyway
) It is a single user with a problem, but someone who claims others support the opinion. I hope to use the poll results to defend Avast's reputation
I checked the box for 'I think I have discovered a problem' the last box in poll. ....
I posted this on Firefox forum and requested help for how to use Firefox without accepting every single cookie anybody wanted to drop on my machine. I got no replies or assistance or suggestions after a week of asking so I was forced to uninstall. ....
I answered here because it's possible people on your forum aren't aware that Firefox will glitch and stumble without 1st Party Cookies enabled and are blaming it on Avast.
- Was your question on the official Firefox support site ?
- If so have you still got a link for the question, and can you post it ?
- If not maybe you would like to post again using
