why mozilla still sucks

[bluebomber]

Okay, I figured, "Hey, a 1.1a release. Maybe most of the kinks are out." So (once again, foolishly), I download, install, and voila! It still sucks. On Win2k. Even after nuking my previous installation and all mozilla-related settings.

• My mouse wheel doesn't work. (Yes, I fiddled with the settings.)
  
• 17.3 billion privacy and security settings and it still can't render my ISP's crappy webmail page properly.
  
• Dialogs that don't fit all of the controls within the window.
  
• Address import from Outlook that takes about 20 seconds and imports a grand total of *1* out of *250* names -- but doesn't even get the address associated with that *1* name!
  

I don't have the patience to play with this silly thing for another 20 minutes to find enough other bugs to round out this list. Needless to say, this isn't really the quality you'd expect from a 1.1-level release.

(Yes, I posted this with 1.1a. After hitting "submit", I will uninstall and go back to nice, reliable IE.)
