9. “Let’s tell everyone Firefox is the better browser.”
I’m a user of Firefox. I like Firefox. What I don’t like is hubris. And the Firefox promotion at times sure shows signs of it. Firefox is more secure? I don’t know, but I do know that those writing malicious website code have reason to target the one browser with the largest installed user base (Internet Explorer). If Firefox ever gets to be in that position, let’s see if it’s more secure.
Instead of telling people Firefox is better, I hope people more truthfully put the spotlight onto Firefox’s many bugs... some of which have been newly introduced in upgrades, and some of which are serious enough to become a daily annoyance. (The last bug report I filed was before the 1.0 final release, and it has been ignored to this day, so I’m not very eager to report more bugs.) Some of the bugs introduced in Firefox 1.5 are so serious, I have to restart the browser to enter a single quote character into form fields (great feature for a blogger). The better browser?
