The new Firefox is out
The latest version of Firefox web browser was released today, version 1.5. I'm a fan of Firefox yet am not a user. I like it because it keeps Microsoft honest. Internet Explorer is way too entrenched to ever be dethroned as the web browser of choice. I would love to use Firefox yet it is still weak compared to the Maxthon free multitabbed browser that I use (it uses the IE engine). Two things that annoy me to no end with Firefox are -
1. The way it renders fonts suck big time. No matter how I set it up the fonts it still make me feel like I'm using an old version of Netscape. Why can't they get that right? Is it the cross platform thing? It blows big time.
2. Firefox has no option to automatically open a new tab when you click on one of your Favorites or if you enter a new url in the address box. This has got to be really simple to add, why don't they add it in? That alone discourages me from using it.
I know that Firefox is open source and has a great plugin community, perhaps both of these issues I have are “plugged” with plugins. In any case good luck Firefox!!
