Why Firefox 2.0 Rocks
-
Installation 1) Windows restart not needed (IE7 requires a long restart) 2) Take less than 1 minute to install (IE7 took almost 5-10 minutes) 3) Even I removing the previous versions, Firefox maintained my settings and add-ons (IE7 I need set the home page again) Using 1) FAST!!! (IE7 SLOW!!!) 2) Unobtrusive Syntax Checker (I will post in CP with Firefox - less typos!) 3) My website is nicest in Firefox (IE7 is not standards compliant - not fixed the table height problems yet...) 4) I talked before what is FAST??? (IE is in each version more slow...) Cheers...

Installation 1&2) Heaven forbid you step away from the computer for a few minutes and experience what is called "real life". 3) OMG the horror! Though it remembered my start page. Using 1) It turns out they are equally as fast on my computer 2) Too bad it doesn't have an obtrusive grammer checker. 3) Odd my website looks nicest in IE (standards are defined by market share, not idealists) 4) Umm, wow... they really need a grammer checker.

I can install VS2005 and use it without restart. So?

That is because the distribution size is small.

I would consider this a bad thing. I am sick of having to manually remove the leftover after uninstalling an application.

I am glad to know that your website is nicest in Firefox. But if you are implying that your website isn't nice under IE, you have a big problem. I am not againsting Firefox,but I think it just isn't as good as everyone seems to think.

Good to you. Do you browse with it too?

Do you have thinked about the lot of changes what IE7 does in Windows? Firefox has minimal changes, because of needs install and run in a lot of platforms.

Good point. I agree. But maybe some these 'leftovers' need be removed before uninstalling.

Basic 5 stars rating: Ugliest - Ugly - Regular - Nice - Nicest my website has 5 stars in Firefox (Nicest) and 4 stars in IE7 (Nice) Not appears a big problem to me...

I am glad and find it works pretty well but still find FF 2.0 and other browsers to be less then ideal, oh well perfection will never exist. I find there are web sites that kill FF 1.5 and 2.0 that IE7 doesn't choke on. While earlier releases of IE7 were definitely sucking up memory the last one isn't. I think but I haven't checked it out thoroughly but FF still seems to have a memory leak. Yeah I use two addins so that might be why I am getting that maybe I will investigate or maybe I will just accept it? I tend to disagree with some of the sentiments about standards as the open source community I believe may be guilty of creating some standards just to thwart MS. Proving that they have done this credibly might be difficult and Ms is not without sin in this department either. So it is kind of a moot argument and just a matter of personal perspective. It would be nice if there ever were standards that got ahered too but unfortunately that seems to be our continuous battle that never gets resolved. It would be real nice if I could use either FF or IE to use SharePoint, OWA or Project Server but that unfortunately is still not the case. That also means that I need to have IE available to use such products which I frequently do use. Now on the plus side for FF and other Open Source products I say thank God they exist because without them I have no idea how much more we would have to spend on software then we currently do. So I remain as I have been already a dual browser user and add this thought. If you do web sites you have to factor your design/development to work with both (or more) or you are asking for trouble with employers and customers...

That's definitely a plus although it's just a one time thing, so no big deal.

Again, that's great but in the grand scheme of things it's a one time savings.

Spell check is a good addition. It doesn't fix a common problem though: the people who really need it can't write in the first place. Spelling is the least of their problems. I do like the spell check though - it is handy.

I don't know about you, but as a developer I make sure my sites look good in all the common browsers.
Clickok wrote:

I just don't see this. IE7 seems faster than 6 on my machine. On another note, I took a look at your website. You may want to have a native english speaker review it for you. It looks like you used an online translator and, unfortunately, it did a pretty bad job. Just thought you might like to know. Cheers, Drew.

One of the worst features of MS apps. is that they typically take longer than comparable products to install. The Restart scenarios are poor as well.

I've yet to notice any significant difference in speed between the various browsers despite repeated claims (I run IE, FF and Opera). Most of the wait time is network latency so any differences in speed seem moot. I switch browsers based on feature set rather than speed or security.

Until you try Adobe at which time you can't wait to go back to Microsoft. Just installing updates to their CS2 package last week required 2 restarts. The full install took over 90 minutes (and a restart). Cheers, Drew.
