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.

Even the very best tools in the hands of an idiot will produce something of little or no value. - Chris Meech on IdiotsI think you mean to say for USING : 3)Odd my website looks nicest in IE (standards are defined by market share, not idealists) That the standard produced by the W3C are not the ones you realy work to, I work to the W3C ones and my sites look the same on all the different browsers. I think you seriously need to redo either the style sheeting on your site or create two stylesheets, one that will look good in IE, and one in FireFox/Netscape, I can provide some javascript to connect the two styles into your pages and flip between them depending on the browser. -- modified at 7:14 Saturday 28th October, 2006

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...

I installed the RC3 of firefox yesterday. 1) All my bookmarks have been erased. Both from the bookmark menu and from the the bar I created under my menu bar. 2) I can't closed empty tabs. 3) In fact, I can't even USE tabs; everything loads up in the first tab. 4) The height of my tabs are now doubled taking up even more real estate on my screen. 5) The search bar doesn't work. 6) I can't "install" any search engines into the search bar so its totally broken and un-usable. 7) That's as far as I got since I'm so frustrated that I don't want to use it anymore. 8) I'm hoping I can roll-back to 1.5 or else I'm going to switch to using IE7 full-time. Sure it takes longer to install but it lets me actually use the features it has implemented... Firefox 2.0 does NOT. 9) I'm glad you like it. It looks as if, after 6+ years, I'm finally going back to being an IE person. chris choyce http://thechoyce.net

Firefox 2.0 is really cool... like their previous versions. Once I started using FF, I have never looked back to IE. It still maintains its LIGHT weight installer, SPEED of browsing, and of course we can TRUST the security features, pop up blocking etc. We should really appreciate the effort they have taken to keep the interface easy to use for existing IE users. Just started using FF2 yesterday, the look and feel is different, and would post more on it later... I HAVE JUST ADDED FF2 TO MY TOOLKIT CD. C YA Biju Raman K from Bangalore, India.
