Fix it, its broken? Break other things! I love open source. :)
I spotted the new version rollout and figured it must have been something dramatic, browser-bombing gifs be the fyutcha

why did i click that.
Are people still using firefox instead of chrome ;)
The link...it does nothing!
I dont know but I get the impression it was a bug in firefox but has already been patched.
well mine wasnt patched. it royally f**ked it up
The patch itself was an issue, every time I opened firefox it said the update failed to install please ensure no other instances of firefox are running and try again.
Had to reboot to get it to update.
Did you check task manager to see if it didnt have a second instance running by accident? That happens sometimes.
I still dont like Chrome as a general browser, it feels like a toy browser to me.
Like having a Chihuaha when you really wanted a Labrador.
it is not just a firebug whole, it is amount most of the browsers and most already or soon after rolled out the fix.
Sam - Chrome is good but not that good and not even more popular then safari yet. Even google admit it wont be till chrome 5 when they start feeling confident about the browser.
On a side not about google.
Google.com and localisation sites are now html 5.
Go try work out how the favicon is loaded, lol.
I must be the black sheep of the forum using IE8. :wave:

It kind of works which is ok, but it is bloody bad, really is. You do not build a new browser with a compatibility mode and code you can use to make it render as ie7 or even ie5.5 if you think it is any kind of good lol.
When you got Chrome, Safari and firfox as choices and the extensibility of Firefox and more extensions for chrome growing bar being in a daft corporate environment you should not really be using IE at all.
The term "Progressive enhancement" basically says - Decent browsers get cool looking sites and IE can go screw in a lightbulb, lol.
Opera though, I kind of feel bad for them, The browser is dying, it really is. It is not bad, it is not horrible and opera have come up with some of the methods of browsing many adopt today but it is too janky and now suffering. Chrome is just killing it and now number 4 browser and will be number 3 above safari as soon as chrome for mac comes out of beta.

If you are not fussed about ajax/javascript performance of your browser and not fussed with how it looks that much then IE is fine to use.
IE8 here too, nowt wrong with it, a good bit snappier than IE7 as well.

But have you tried chrome or firefox for more then 5 minutes? They are twice as fast as IE8.
In terms of firefox I can not live without greesemonkey.
It runs local scripts to change the way sites you go to are viewed. Any annoying thing on facebook like the adds or certain notifications etc? You can get rid of them.
maybe it is faster... but is it enough to make a difference ?
decent connection and computer = everything loads as fast as you can click it anyway ?

Hell yeah it is a difference, It is not about decent connection.
I have mentioned before about gzipping, compressing your javascript, calling your javascript in the correct manner, Good CSS, no inline css.
Even putting images on a subdomain will speed things up.
Browsers (well IE) can only concurrently load 2 elements at the same time. Firefox, chrome and safari force load 4 but doing the image/media domain tick speeds up performance.
Ever noticed at the bottom when pages are loading on many big sites reading from a domain not of the site? It is their media servers either separate servers all together or sub domains.
Many use the amazon servers to host their images.
I could go on about how browsers render sites but yeah they are a lot faster.
Ok you guys, try this:
It will be IE on the outside but chrome on the inside. It will make your browser run using webkit web standards which are 10 times better then IE. While it wont be as fast as if you used chrome this should be a better browsing experience.

I totally accept all of that....
but when 99% of sites load faster than I can blink, how will i notice the difference ?
(really asking here - not just being a dick!)
I agree with Knighty to a degree. However, the point where you really start to see the difference is when youve got a high number of tabs open, each with different flash/java, etc apps in each.
Plus, Internet Explorer has always had this stupid requirement to reconnect every time you open a new tab or window. It takes a good three seconds for me every time I open a new tab before it will actually let me do anything usable with it while it does all its connection and proxy checking malarky.
I had no problem with IE until it took a massive dump on me a couple of years ago. Since then Ive been using firefox, and everytime i need to use IE for something specific it seems so clunky and "old"
Now works fine with FF Shiretoko 3.5.6 PRE :)
I get annoyed at someof the siebel systems we use at work. The front end only works in IE
