Why Firefox 2.0 Rocks
-
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 think you forgot to turn on your spell checker. :)

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...

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.

Hmm, IE7 retained my home page just fine.

They seem to be about the same to me.

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.

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.

IE takes forever to stop loading a page when you hit stop, sometimes it won't stop at all. Firefox stops immediately.
