Mozilla Projects - Getting On My Nerves
I’m growing sick of Mozilla projects. The problem I have with them? Bugs, bugs, bugs, bugs, bugs.
Just for instance, in Mozilla Thunderbird there’s this bug that has been around for years and is driving me mad. After it’s been running for a while, it suddenly starts sucking up 100% of my CPU, and I have to restart it. It has been reported by many users, and it still doesn’t seem to have been fixed.
Also, with Firefox, after it’s been running for a while (maybe a couple days or so) it starts slowing down. And I mean really slowing down. Sometimes it takes ten seconds for it to respond to a single click. Other times, I have to kill it because it won’t respond. What’s worse, is it also crashes completely on some sites; I’ve run into this many times on del.icio.us. Firefox 3 beta is even worse!

There’s always IE.
In all seriousness, Firefox 3.0b4 has been significantly better for me than any of the 2.x series. 3.0b5 was an unhappy experience (http://atomized.org/2008/04/grief/ http://atomized.org/2008/04/grief-continued/) - I downgraded back to b4.

lol, yeah right. Firefox is way better than IE, but it’s infuriating when you follow a link to del.icio.us, and it crashes.
