Firefox...Broken?

Why don't you try Opera? It's clearly superior to all the other browsers. It just takes some customization time, you have to go around in the configs. The mouse gestures are very nice, along with Speed Dial, which, unlike Chrome's new tab page, allows you to choose what you want on it.

My Fire Fox has a problem too. I can't seem to get it to play videos that run on windows media player. I've downloaded the addon a few times yet still have no success. The addon doesn't even show up.

@ Dude with the girl avatar: Opera is good too' and it's lightweight. The addon system for FF is much better though. I use Opera on my Windows piece of crap. Other dude, maybe you don't have the codec to play the video.

I'm not a "dude with a girl avatar", that's me.

I prefer Opera because I don't like having to download all my features. And the overall speed is better on Opera, with Javascript.

Check FF 3.5
it's like lightning (got various JS refinements nabbed from chrome)

Opera's always going to be second best to FF, at least in my view, due to it's closed nature
but anyhow

Closed nature? Do you actually care if something is open source or not?
