It trashes its profiles regularly, must be WIPED OUT if you want to re-install it, or else damaged profiles will be retained, the download manager sucks, it crashes, extensions are always having version conflicts, bad extentions blow up the whole browser, it still suffers from an annoying "Sticky Alt Key" bug that has been in the browser since 0.8, the JavaScript debugger actually ignores certain critical errors... etc., etc., etc...

Oh yeah, and now that FireFox is popular, pop-up blocking doesn't work, anymore, and I've had more than one site nag me to install an XPI or two. Security through obscurity no longer applies.

I have FireFox as my default browser, as it is good, but I wish people would point out its faults more often. It has plenty of design flaws of its own.


Uhm, interesting... I have never had a profile become trashed, I have never had any problems whatsoever with the download manager, I haven't noticed any version conflicts with the extensions and concerning the sticky alt key bug, I don't even know what it is (and thus I guess I haven't experienced it). The only thing I have noticed is that the pop-up blocker isn't as efficient as it used to be before, and that pages which plays Quicktime audiofiles (which autoloads) have managed to crasch the browser at times.

So, in my case, I haven't pointed out the flaws since I haven't really experienced any flaws to the extent that I have felt a need to point them out. Though, I have to say, I don't consider FireFox being a perfect browser in any aspect. But compared to IE6, I'm having a really hard time seeing what IE6 offers that FireFox doesn't (except a bit more reliable Windows Media streams).
