sorry if this is wrong place to post. this is a new lappy, windows 10, pre-loaded with microsoft edge, can be removed but messes up system so not worth it. however, i hate it so use mozilla firefox, which isn't designed to be compatible with windows 10 (windows 8 highest). so the stupid thing keeps crashing. any tips plz, i'd be really grateful :hug;

I use google chrome and have good luck with that but not using on Windows 10. Glad you are posting

I'm using Chrome on Windows 10. It works well.

Firefox is fully compatible with Windows 10. I use Windows 10, Linux, and Android and I run Firefox on all 3 different operating systems.

Are you using the latest version and are you downloading it from Mozilla's official site and not one of these 3rd party download sites? If you aren't certain that you did, I would reinstall it with the latest version from Mozilla. Don't use a 3rd party site even if they are above Mozilla on Google search because many of them either have viruses or adware or want you to download other random software that you are unlikely to want or need because that's how they make money and their garbage bloatware could potentially be slowing your system down.

Chrome is always the best.

No thank you. I will take my bulletproofed Firefox modded with anti tracking features that is open source and ran by a company that is non profit and actually cares about me and my data over a Corporation that only cares about money any day.

That's why I offered my advice to the OP about fixing their Firefox instead of switching to Chrome.

Thanks for this. I only like Firefox and this advice was bang on. I went to Mozilla's official site and it turned out the prob was I had 32-bit firefox on a 64-bit system and their advice was install 64-bit firefox. It's been running sweet ever since so I'm a happy bunny now, thanks

Thanks to everyone for advice also. for all

I use Firefox for my phone and chrome for my computer. I don't think I'm interesting enough for someone to make any money off my information lol

I'm a huge fan of Firefox! It's my favorite! I do use Chrome some too, primarily at work. Our ADA tool works best on Chrome.

Chrome does have it's benefits, particularly, with some business related things.

I will still be using Chrome for my Shopify store because of all the dropshipping plugins and what not.

But for everything else, I always have and always will use Firefox with my anti tracking plugins and Startpage search engine, especially when coming to this site or doing any type of searching related to mental health or hacking.

My trust will always be given to non profits and open source software over any corporation and their closed source software.
