I spotted the new version rollout and figured it must have been something dramatic, browser-bombing gifs be the fyutcha

I dont know but I get the impression it was a bug in firefox but has already been patched.

Edd

well mine wasnt patched. it royally f**ked it up

zpyder

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.

neXus

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.

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.
