yes yes, IE sucks. But what I really would want is for Mozilla to reach the same level of usability as Opera.
I switched from Opera to Mozilla recently mostly because Opera wasn't free, and I got tired of using illegal serials to get rid of that damn banner.
There's a lot of things done better in Mozilla through extensions. I love the ad-blocking filters and the cookie control, but there's just some small things that many times make me want to go back to that big 'O'.
The tabbed browsing isn't really working so well (or maybe I'm too dumb to figure it out). For one, am I really forced to press ctrl to stop links from opening in a new window? And those links that use a new window, there's really no way to keep them in tabs? So after some surfing I end up with one main window with lotsa tabs and a few seperate windows with single tabs. That is not very user-friendly.
It's these little things that annoyed me at the beginning. I'm sure for those coming from IE-land it's all just improvements, but I couldn't help wonder how unorganized (and fugly, really) Mozilla still is. It is improving all the time, and that is probably the main reason I decided to invest my time in using it. I really hope that Mozilla will soon start competing against other properly developed browsers and not just the sad IE-experience.
no, it doesn't run Linux, and it doesn't run on Linux.
I'm worried my girlfriend will buy it and then i'll be forced to make a partition for Windows again. Sigh...where will i put all my downloaded p0rn then?
Though i have to say, it looks damn pretty.
...nor broadband. especially not wi-fi, that would just be silly.
anyway, my dad has worked from home for a insurance company for 5 years now. all he needed is a telephone and isdn-line. not much high-tech, really.

Give them some slack, they said they're still working on making toolbars for other browsers, too.
Thank you. That's annoyance fixed, several to go...
