Fizzled Fox

I promise this will be my last post today... Installed Mozilla Firefox (British English Version 1.0) today, heard it's easier to use than Opera and more compatible. Actually I've been composing this post and the others today using it, hoping that it would show the right page when I update and view this blog. Alas, it was not to be, seems to me Mozilla is still too half-arsed. It seems to be not much easier to use than Opera, actually I reckon it's clunkier than Opera, and it's just as incompatible with this blog platform.

First signs of trouble came when I was using it a few days ago at work. Tabbed handling wasn't as streamlined as in Opera and mouse gestures were missing. Perhaps I can address both of those with a bit more poking around but Opera is all slicked up straight out. File transfers are just a bit of an improvement on Internet Explorer but have nothing on Opera's geek sleek. Again perhaps I could poke around and improve things but there should be no need.

Customisation is also more limited with Firefox than with Opera. Bars and icons aren't as flexible and the range of options presented is rather limited. When stacked up against Internet Explorer sure Firefox is a clear winner but I certainly won't be replacing Opera any time soon.
