Firefox In Print

Posted by michael on from the no,-not-the-nyt-ad dept.

hoovernj writes "It seems that O'Reilly is ready to release two books about Firefox in March. The first is Firefox Hacks, which will be targeted at Firefox power users. And the second is Don't Click on the Blue E!, which will be targeted at less-savvy users transitioning from Internet Explorer. Could this be the end of lazy IE-only scripted webpages? (thanks to mozillaZine for the original pointer)." And reader ledmirage writes "Wired Magazine's February issue on Firefox: 'It's fast, secure, open source - and super popular. The hot new browser called Firefox is rocking the software world. (Watch your back, Bill Gates.)'."

    I use Firecrap for its stability at the moment, but I wish I had a browser that parsed HTML like IE does and functions like Firefox.

    You should use Maxthon. The speed and better rendering and support of IE, with the tabbed browsing and middle-clicking etc of firefox (with the necessary extensions required to do it which make it buggy as hell i might add).

  2. MODS: STOP MODDING THIS UP by TechnologyX · · Score: 0, Troll

    Every fucking Firefox article we have, someone starts bitching about how Slashdot doesn't render correctly in FF, and we have to endure 18 posts of "OMG THEY R STILL USING TABLES AND NOT CSS" and "It's a FF bug dumbass".

    THIS HAS BEEN FIXED, SHUT THE FUCK UP ABOUT IT ALREADY

    Firefox 1.1 will have the fix in the trunk, they backed it out because it was breaking other sites, that's why it wasn't in FF1.0. It's a race condition, and it's been fixed, end of story.
