Comments on: The producer's view: Firefox 3

The open-source browser makes my life easy in more ways than one.

Clear, sharply written, informative review. Looking forward to more time with Firefox 3 now.
Good work Andrew ;)

Andrew - you are absolutely correct, Firefox 3 is the browser that they have been promising for years, and it is finally starting to live up to the hype.

As a fellow web producer, I really appreciate the updates, and wish it could be forced on the world. Imagine a world with no IE... ahhh..

great article, looking forward to more.

wow, 77 versus 278 pages. this is the result of searches on webware for opera and firefox respectively. you guys just love firefox too much, don't you? please, let me hear about opera 9.5.

I am loving Firefox 3 thus far, and have even made it my default browser on my computer, replacing IE8 (which I have found doesn't work correctly with some websites). As to the 'Acid 2' test being passed... great! As to the 'Acid 3' test....... I'd really like it if the site you ran that on told you what Firefox was failing at, so you could inform the Firefox team and get it fixed or have the things fixed that it not using correctly.

77 articles on Opera is pretty good I think...

Gone back to FF2 until I can get rid of them advertising their search engine in my address bar (didn't see any way to get rid of it in Options), and until they change a few other things like that.

I am using Firefox 2 for development still because Firebug in Firefox 3 does not highlight block level elements when you try to inspect them. Besides that, the new Firefox browser is very impressive.

Stardogg:

Click the little arrow beside the Google "G" in the search bar. At the bottom of the dropdown list that appears, choose Manage Search Engines. From there, you can delete Google's search engine option from the list. You can delete all of them, for that matter, and add your own choices.

Forced on the world ? You anti-microsofties kill me. We don't like IE (or whatever), so we're going to dictate what everyone uses. Right - that's the spirit of the open web.
