Yeah, I get pissed when people say FireFox beats the pants off IE. IE's no prize, but FireFox is too damn buggy and has too many compliance issues to be crowned king just yet. I also really hate the download manager, and the profiles are very, very easy to corrupt, making it difficult to re-install the browser. Downgrading from 0.9 to 0.8 was a nightmare because un-installing 0.8 didn't clear out the profiles, and, I suppose, 0.9 didn't import them properly. Took me a couple hours to get the system cleaned up and 0.8 installed again. Grrr...

Eh?

Firefox 0.9 had a few annoying crashes, 0.8 and 0.9.1 hasn't been anything else than rock-solid.
Mozilla complies to most standards, generally much better than IE.

0.8 and 0.9 uses different locations for profiles, and it was a little disturbing that one couldn't import 0.8-profiles automatically.
Beating the dead horse since 2002.
