Latest Mozilla version slow and buggy.


Question

I downloaded it last night and tried it for about 1 hour. Still quite buggy and this version seems to take longer to open web pages than the last version.

When are they finally going to have this browser fully working!!!

I tried Mozilla 1.1 a couple month ago and it was extremely buggy, unstable, and incompatible with many websites. IE 6 is still the least buggy and most compatible browser on the market.

People just do not understand that sometimes open-source simply does not do the job as well as the private code.

and the 1.1 version a couple of months ago was still at beta stages, people just do not understand that a beta version is not that stable

btw, The new stable 1.1 and 1.01 are more stable than IE 6 sp1, IE more compatible? maybe, if the coder is lazy

um..

autocomplete and type ahead are completely different.

type ahead :

start typing while the page is loaded, and links, matching what you typed, will be highlited. then all you need to do press enter to follow the link.

yeah.. 1.2a was slow for me too, but yesterday i updated to a nitely build and its been workin smooth.

and the guy saying IE is compatible with more sites.. that is true but IE is compatible with more sites because its compatible with poorly written sites. ;)

Can someone please define for me what makes a website standard compliant, because for the life of me I just can't seem to bring myself to care. I've yet to find a site that was completely unviewable using either IE or Mozilla, so honestly, is this *really* an issue? Granted, I don't have a PhD in html, but I'm guessing the majority of web authors out there don't either.

it's very sad that people like you don't know about http://validator.w3.org

if a site complies w/ W3C it'll work correctly in all *good* browsers

How is it hard? Most that I've installed (PIE MENUS ROCK! :ninja: ) you simply click, it installs, and you restart the browser. No muss no fuss.

And will someone please show me all of these "incompatible websites"? The only two I've ever seen are cn8.tv and education.ti.com.

Greatest plugins ever: Pie Menus (radial context) and the preferences bar.

i could name you quite a few websites that are not compatible with IE, but work fine in Mozilla, Netscape, Opera, ...

and how comes IE still does not display alpha-tranparent PNGs correctly? :p
