And this is why I use Firefox. (3 to be exact)

Okay, I am a Firefox 3 user, and darn proud of it. After using my Dad’s laptop for about an hour, I am ready to viciously rip it apart. Why you ask? Because I am using Internet Explorer. I am missing my firefox already. IE has made browsing a nightmare. Of course to the average internet user, browsers aren’t an issue. Except, that I’m not average, and you guys aren’t either. You know, I’d wouldn’t even waste my breath on this if it hadn’t gotten so under my skin. Why you ask? Here’s why-

    No spell check. I find myself constantly looking back for misspellings. How rude. Even still, I’m sure I’m spelling things wrong. Sorry about that. Not my fault.
    NO ROUNDED CORNERS! On Gmail, Google Reader, and even Wordpress, all I can do is wonder where the rounded corners have gone…
    I can’t even log on to Twitter, nonetheless actually visit the homepage. It keeps asking me to download the login file. Oddness.
    I’m getting these random errors. Rawr.
    New tabs open right next to the one I am on. I hate that. I usually have anywhere from 10-30 tabs open at a time. I like going through them and finding links I clicked all the way at the end.
    I really miss my awesome bar. It’s so awesome. Not to mention the one-click bookmarking.
    It crashes often. Again, not my browser of prefrence.
    On my site, the UL and or LI tags move to the right unneccesarily.
    In older versions of IE, the content section moves under the sidebar. I can’t stand that.
    A few pixels off the top pf my H2 get chopped off.

I am seriously considering installing portable apps on my USB… And thats the end of my little rant. I feel better. :] Anywho, I updated my portfolio, (finally) yay! Go have a look see. I also added some stuff to the resources section. Check that out too. My deviantart has gotten some new stuff too…

    lmao. go firefox! I use ff3 also. It is the best. If you are a web designer it’s FF always. No debate. ever. I was so glad to hear that ff3 got the world record. wooot! =)

    nice to have a fellow firefoxer <3

    P.S. I switched to wp. yay!

    It drives me crazy when people don’t use firefox! it’s so much better!

    Ha! I was so peeved at using IE7 on the lady’s computer (that I babysit for) that I had to download FF. I couldn’t go on a second longer with the slow loading and weird warnings on sites that I’m used to visiting with no problems.

    I also like Safari, which is even faster than FF…but I love my FF plugins. :)

    omg, IE is the worst thing ever. I had used it for yeeeeaaarrrsss… and just about a month ago switched to Safari, b/c they just released a version for Windows. And I looooove it!!! It has the spellcheck feature and everything, and it’s way more secure. When I made my new layout, everything looked a-ok in safari, but looked all messed up in IE. I finally came to a happy medium, but I still cannot stand viewing my site in IE. I’ve only used Firefox like once. I wasn’t crazy about it, but then again, I didn’t give it much of a chance.
