You are right, "Firefox" is pretty weak, probably because it was designed as a lean mean minimal browser that had only features that just about everyone on the planet would want.

But "FIrefox+Extensions" (what are there a few thousand now?) rocks.

FIrefox must be thought of as a tired old Volkswagen beetle. A bit like this

Of course, if you dont want to bother, or dont know how, to use a wrench, you are stuck with a tired old Volkswwgen...





I don't like that it stores its config files in on the c drive in the application data directory (and no you can't move it with profiles, it stores profile info there) instead of the install directory, I don't like that it doesn't support some javascript commands, I don't like that, it allows javascript to open new windows instead of putting them in a tab, I don't like that it keeps telling me that different sites wish to install crap (instead of ignoring it), I don't like it keeps telling me I don't have Flash installed and wouldn't I like to. I don't like that the minimum font setting seems to be ignored on most sites. I don't like that it only makes fonts bigger and not the pictures. I don't like that when you right click on a tab the first menu item isn't "Close" but "New Tab". I don't like that it doesn't have mouse gestures. I don't like that it apparently can do things but people can't be bothered to put it in interface but expect the user to hunt around for info (and functionality) (fine if your are a kid or retired and have nothing better to do, but I do have better to do and don't want to waste time looking for config crap, it has to work out of the box) and finally it annoys me that so many Firefox users seem to be arrogant people who always have to put others down for not using their crappy browser.
