so i'm reconsidering firefox.
dowloaded the newest version (1.0.4) tonight, and i've been messing with it for a while. generally it has a lot of stuff i like alot more than ie. but it was some things that annoy me, too.
like, for instance, how i've irreperably crashed it three times tonight alone. something about the extension handling and userchrome.css or usercontent.css is still kind of buggy. because i'll mess with an extension, and it'll crash on restart. restarting the computer and reinstalling do nothing. but removing usercontent.css and userchrome.css from the chrome folder that's under application data fixes it. and then i have to reinstall all my extension again, and sometimes my skin (all one of them). which is rather annoying.
don't like the handling of downloads and running files (like movies) off the web. do like tabs, alot. don't like some of the anal security measures, but i suspect they'll go away as it learns stuff. do like ad-removal. i do like search bar, with google, wikipedia, webster, ebay, and imdb. that's handy as hell. not sure if i like the find function yet. do like the luna skin, so it matches the rest of my computer. i also don't like how it handles like netscape. (might have to tweak some of my pages...)
i also broke thunderbird in a rather nasty way. had a buggy skin, which didn't let me change off it. uninstalling it was a bad choice, and made it so the program looked like a notepad file. and so that you couldn't do anything. managed to fix it, i think, by removing the folder in application data, and reinstalling. i don't like the lack of a good os-integration skin for thunderbird.
so, uh, not sure if i'm quite ready to trust stuff to programs that broke right out of the firgurative box. but other than that, i like them...
