That’s only half the question. What really sucks is this:

I use a very PDF heavy CRM system which is a joy in safari, and a bitch to use in Firefox

I also do a lot ofediting in wordpress which is a bitch in safari and a joy in firefox

So the question really should be: why can’t we have one mainstream browser that just works.

Oh, and why does firefox have to be so dog ugly.

  • ESC key in search bar doesn’t behave the same as in URL Bar

  • Slowness

  • no native integration with KeyStore

  • no native integration with firewall settings

    • Check Camino… it does it all. The thing is also blazing fast…

    I need some feedback from other Firefox users on the Comcast access to internet.

    I’ve picked up some kind of disabling virus which prevent Firefox from reaching ANY servers, and I don’t know how to get rid of it.

    HELLLLLLP!
