Will Mozilla follow the path of Internet Explorer?

The war between Mozilla Firefox and Internet Explorer was won many years ago, with Mozilla well out in front. Mozilla’s easy access and simplicity made it much more popular than old-school Internet Explorer.

However, Mozilla appears to be following in the footsteps of Internet Explorer. Many users now find themselves extremely frustrated with the annoyances presented by the latest versions of Mozilla Firefox.

Mozilla was the first browser to offer tabbed browsing. It was an invention that made web surfing much easier and better on the computer CPU. The amount of tasks you could accomplish in the same web browser made it the program of choice for most surfers.

Recently, Mozilla has become far more problematic and top heavy. The plug-ins used by Mozilla has become a drain on the computer CPU, and the browser itself has begun to experience many technical issues.

Many times a user is surfing happily, when suddenly he is faced with his Firefox window having a sudden technical issue. Recovering from the crash takes a matter of minutes, but it certainly is an annoyance. Despite the amount of fixes and technical bugs worked out, there continues to be a steady stream of inconveniences for Mozilla users.

Firefox has been compared to a computer game, in that it uses the majority of the computer’s memory and slows the computer down. How it got to this stage is not clear, but there are many factors that could have contributed to it.

Due to the popularity and growth of Mozilla, many software companies have developed plug-ins for the browser. These plug-ins are a constant source of annoyance to users. They may have been the cause of the top heavy structure that is causing Mozilla users to be annoyed.

Whatever the cause of Mozilla’s decline in user-friendliness, it is a serious problem. If Mozilla can’t recover from the crash it is heading towards, it will soon join fellow Internet Explorer in the rubbish bin of “old” technology.
