We could put Vi in charge and you could take orders from her. You like taking orders?

I use Firfox all the time and never had any problems with it at all. In fact I develop and build all the web sites I make to work in Firefox first, and then apply 'fixes' so that they work in other browsers, if needed - since I try to work with (validated) cross-browser compatible CSS and XHTML coding, practically everything I make works exactly the same in almost every browser, the exception being IE6, which sometimes needs 'fixes' applied to make things like pure CSS drop down menus and so on work (or to work with transparency in .png files in IE).

To be fair, alot of the so-called browser problems when accessing web sites are not actual problems with a specific type of browser, they are more often because of sloppy coding, or lazy coding that has been written to work in a specific browser, rather than addressing cross-browser compatibilty.

I test my work in Firefox, IE6 & 7 and Safari, and then get other web designer friends on a forum (who use other browsers) to do a quick cross-browser check for me.

definitely the way to do it. I just wish all coders did the same. Some fairly major websites don't and the result is they don't work properly. If a company can't be bothered to make their site compatible with at least the 2 most popular browsers then I don't bother with their site.

I've been using the firefox 3 beta for a while now it works great,but I've found a small bug if your using windows blinds( skinning software) it tends not to draw/render) some of the menus correctly(ex. right clicking on anything) it was easily overcome by simply disabling all visual themes for firefox in windows Smile

A better replacement for window blinds is to patch a windows system file, this then allows you to use different themes directly with windows without having to use any 3rd party software (so less of a resource hog), search google for uxtheme patch..

Also Firefox is great, and RC2 seems to be coming along just fine

I'm currently using RC3; the Web Developer extensions I use all work with this release (although my favourite themes don't, not really bothered). I believe the final release is due out on the 17th, so I'm guessing that, barring any final bugs that need fixing, that the current RC distribution (RC3) is pretty much the finished application.

I used to have problems with Firefox, mainly getting the damn windows media plugins to work, I sorted that and FF3 is even better, not sure its alot quicker than FF2...maybe i just dont notice much difference on my spec?
