I had such high hopes that this would become standard, but after using it for a month, I'm fed up. Too many inconsistencies in Flash and CSS etc...
Anyone else feel sad about this...?

I like FF havn't had any major issues with it. IE 7.0 with tabbing and focus on security is coming in the summer.

i dont know what sites people like you are visiting or what kind of coding you do but ff has never given me any grief
ff and ns are the best browsers on pc today

I like firefox but yeah ... some sites suck balls in flash for no reason i can tell

firefox is awesome, only pdf is a bitch to open for me.

i havent run into any problems. I dont think I could live without tabbed browsing now. Any inconsistancies I run into are far outweighed by the wonderful invention that is tabbed-browsing.

i use camino. osx only still beta and a bit buggy but very swish :)

Funny...I came up with the same conclusion today. Sick of sites looking like shit.
I liked the small things about it...the beautiful icons...the "not IE" ness and of course, tabbed browsing.
I'm uninstalling it tonight.

are you guys on a MAC or something? I've been using it for months now.. and its been nothing but plain sailing for me... I rarely come across a site that doesn't display properly.. but even when I do it just shows that the guys they got to design their site weren't good enough to code properly.. at least thats the way I look at...

firefox is perfect with css. CSS works perfectly in firefox and you dont need hacks or as many as you do to make css sites looks correctly in IE.

On a mac, yes.
But thats no excuse for flash looking like shit.

can you post a screenshot.. I'd be interested to see how flash is displayed..
It is afterall supposed to be platform independant..

Just another browser I have to open up and test/debug on. For a while I thought that FF behaved like Safari. Safari would handle certain things different than IE and I found that FF did about the same thing. But, after a month now of testing around 5 sites, I have found no consistancy between them especially with css, tables, forms etc... Yea now we get to try and design for 5 browsers....

there are specifics about suckage though.. examples: flash on a mac period, flash in FF on a mac sucks, FF on a pc rocks IE all over da place, and IE on my pc (hasn't been launched since summer). so yeah. love the FF :)

agree with jpea... when viewing a heavy scripted and animated flash web site on ff for mac the whole systems slows down... waaaaay down up to a point i have to force quit ff.
hope they fix this soon... ff or macromedia.

I actually made my father switch to Firefox and he seemed to love it. But after a few days he realized he couldn't visit his bank site, read most news sites or even be able to surf without getting errors. So now he's back to IE. This isn't Firefox' fault though. But as long as people optimize for IE instead of browser standard, Firefox is never getting more users than the so-called elite.

i just got camino. Nice, very nice. But nowhere near as fast as Fire Fox.

The PDF issue is an Adobe issue - and if you bothered to check the Adobe site you'd know there's a fix.
And Flash - is not a standard. It's a plugin, it's nothing to do with FF. I've never had any issues.
- mirola0
no issues here, nope, no problems. no, nope. not one.

do tell what sites you can not "read the news" from or whatever. I use FF on a mac and a PC and both display thngs great. FF handles CSS terrific and by the book, IE in most cases needs to be hacked for proper displays.
I must have the magic mac machine because I have no problems with Flash, either viewing it or developing it- and my machine is 5 years old.

interesting jox..
ff is top for css, no question, but flashy sucky foxy
