Firefox burning
I have to reprise a blog entry I had about Safari vs. Firefox. I have once again made the switch. I was using Safari for quite a while, and I still like Safari. It seems fast and responsive when rendering screens. However, the developer set in Firefox is invaluable. I work almost exclusively in Firefox now when developing a site. The developer tools are excellent, but the real gem now is Firebug. I have Firebug fired up constantly, turning on and off css and checking my dom.
I am having two problems with Firefox that I believe are only there for Mac versions. The scroll bar doesn’t always show the down arrow on certain pages. This sort of drives me nuts, because I like to use it to incrementally scroll down. Also, I occassionally lose my ability to tab from one field to the next. The only solution I can find is to reboot Firefox. Does anybody know about this? Anyone have a fix. I keep thinking they will fix it in a next release, but it doesn’t get fixed. It happens on multiple macs that I use, so it doesn’t appear to be my operating system.
