firefox 3.5 is not without its share of problems.

Mozilla FirefoxMozilla's newest version of their browser, firefox 3.5, has its fair share of problems. I just upgraded to firefox 3.5.2 and it has not been 100% awesome and sexy for me, like the photo to the right. Let me elaborate:
  • When I tried to pay my discover bill, firefox wouldn't let me. The payment would not go through. Works fine in IE8. Note that previous versions of firefox worked fine.
  • Gmail works HORRIBLY in firefox 3.5.2. Occasionally emails won't load, delete, etc. And it sometimes has problems showing the inbox again after you read an email. The "loading" tip at the top freaks out and changes size, and I'm not too sure how that even happens.
  • Today as I was browsing, all of a sudden, the address bar turns gray and I can't type any URL's into the address field. Interesting. The only way to fix it was to close firefox.
Other than that, Firefox 3.5 is great, I guess. The real reason I use it all the time is because 1. It's not a Microsoft product, and 2. Firebug and all the other great web developer tools that you can use with Firefox. On that front, they are doing a great job (and with other really useful add-ons)
