Firefox 2 vs 3 - they are both too buggy
The Mozilla folks last week released v3 beta. There was a bunch of confusion about how buggy it would be when the final version ships.
Readers of my blog know what a huge fan of Firefox I’ve been. I’ve been telling developers that are spending more time on Facebook these days not to forget about developing for Firefox. And practially everytime a startup presents at Spark running IE, I’ve been telling them that they should develop for Firefox.
But the problem is that Firefox is letting us down. The quality of their software is buggy and I’m still on version 2.0.0.9. It often freezes and locks up. It doesn’t seem to matter if it’s on my Macs running Tiger or Leopard.
This past week I made the switch to Safari 3.0.4. And I haven’t had a single crash or freeze yet.
I miss all of my super cool Firefox extensions so I’m rooting for Firefox to pay more attention to quality.
My browser needs to just work. It’s way too important.
