Comment Re: Is the Firefox Honemoon Over? (Score 1) 560

Lets wait until 2010 when it will actually be better and stick to IE which is better now.

I think you're missing a fundamental point here, at least in my experience. I use Firefox everywhere I can, even at work (run through .cmd script), but sometimes I'm forced to use IE. It's so hard to use IE after using Firefox, I feel like I'm being forced back to the stoneage of browsing productivity.

One issue is the Tabs, but there's more than this. The Extensions system is very very nice, especially the Mouse Gestures extension. How many times has someone here used IE after a while of using Firefox and you find yourself right-clicking dragging-up on URLs to open them in tabs and it takes you a few seconds to figure out that this is not Firefox anymore?

I mean I use Betas of Firefox and sometimes not everything works until the Final releases. Yes there's even the usual security patches which is expected, but as long as my Mouse Gestures works then I'm fine. Productivity has increased with Firefox, why would you ever want go back to IE? Even if IE7 has tabs, what about Mouse Gestures and the customization possibilities?
