Firefox 3 sucks

Ramblings, Review 3 Comments

Dear Firefox,

I am amazed at how bad you’ve made Firefox 3. Seriously… what the hell? I’ve been using all betas of it, and each beta release seems to get worse than the one before it. The latest beta 5 does not even render some pages anywhere near correctly…. more pages than beta 4 had trouble with. I know it’s beta, and I hope the issues get resolved, but that is not my only dissatisfaction with this version of Firefox:

Download Manager… what the hell? You got rid of all buttons in it. Why?! I don’t use the stupid download manager for anything more than downloading. I get the impression that you want me to use it to manage all past downloads, with the search and all… I don’t want to do that! And with the lack of all buttons on it, I have to now right click it and select “Clear List.” That is an extra click that I don’t like!

Home… what the hell? What happened to the Home button. Actually… it goes beyond that, even. I have a keyboard that I love and that I have grown accustomed to using the hot keys on. The most used hotkey has been “My Home” which used to open up a new browser window. But now you take my current window and send me to my home page. Why!? That is NOT what I want and I can’t find an option to change the behavior of this.

Are you simply getting nervous of the new IE 8 sporting it’s all better view on life?

I wont say it’s all bad… it does seem to render pages faster.

Please consider not sucking for the final release, or I may just have to find myself a new browser…. and don’t make me use IE, please. But I don’t want to give you false fear of me going to Safari, though. I won’t do that, don’t worry.

Sincerely,
Todd
