How can firefox 3 reach the guinnes world record…

… if the servers are down?

UPDATE: mozilla.com is up now but pointing to a strange release candidate page (showing 2.0 releases + some 3.0 rc3).

UPDATE 2: mozilla.com is down again (Http/1.1 Service Unavailable).

UPDATE 3: yeah, firefox 3 is out, really :-)

4 things I hate about FireFox under Linux/Gnome

  1. speed: try using Google spreadsheet, it’s simply impossible. On Windows it works smoothly.
  2. integration: try having to change your proxy settings times a day… FireFox can’t read proxy info from GNOME settings
  3. UI: Save/Open dialogs are not the native GTK ones
  4. crashes: hey where’s my firefox? it’s gone, without telling me anything… and this happens 3-4 times a day

I think Gnome FireFox needs more attention, anyway I’m waiting for Epiphany/WebKit and for a more Epiphany extensions.

The open source scooter

When I saw that yesterday… I had to take a picture :D
