Mozilla Firefox and the middle mouse button
Authored by: octo on Apr 06, '05 08:34:13AM

On Windows, Firefox has one kink that really annoys me. Windows seems VERY eager to swap the process out of RAM, and as such you always have an annoying thrashing lag when you havn't been using the browser for a while.

On MacOS, I can see where you're coming from as to odd kinks. When I originally got my PowerBook, I tried Safari. It worked well, but its total and utter lack of configurability was starting to drive me nuts. Firefox was a natrual choice, as since 1.0PR it had become my de facto browser of choice on all the other OSes I use.

Lately I've begun trying Camino myself. One feature of it that I really like is its password remembering kinks. One site I have to frequent is designed to change its name in the password dialog so you can't have your browser remember the password. Well, Camino is the only browser not fooled by this, making my life a lot easier :)
Then again, it to has some minor kinks that bother me. Right now, they are mainly 2 things. First, I like my tab-bar to be left-justified and not centered. Second, it seems to like displaying "Loading..." in window tabs even after the page is loaded, if something didn't happen just perfectly. In the end, though, I think the main reason I keep going back to Firefox is that its what I use everywhere else. Of course with the next few releases of Camino, that could easily change.
