Firefox’s Latest Upgrade/Downgrade
I just upgraded/downgraded my computers to Firefox 3.0.8, and let’s just say, it has a ton of bugs. I use Firefox at home on a Windows and Mac, but I mostly use it at work on my 24″ iMac, which has OSX 10.5.6.
The first thing I noticed this morning was when I clicked on a link that opened a new window, the left nav button isn’t grayed out, leading you to believe it goes somewhere. This wasn’t like this on previous versions. BROKEN!
The second issue is it no longer remembers my website urls in the url bar. Previously, I could start typing something like, “www.m”, and it would start listing a bunch of websites that started with “www.m”. BROKEN!
The third issue is it no longer remembers websites that I’ve visited, which might be related to #2. I noticed when I went to CraigsList.com, which I frequent, it didn’t have any of the links listed as “visited”. If I click on a link, and go back, and refresh, it lists that link as visited. If I click on another link, go back, and refresh again, it will list the link that I just clicked on as visited, but it won’t remember any of the previous links. BROKEN!
I can’t still do what I need to get done with this version of Firefox, but these are some pretty amateur mistakes. Oh wait, is this an April Fool’s joke? Cause nobody is laughing.
