I really doubt that. I haven't found it superior in any way to Avant Browser, which is basically an upgrade of the IE "kernel," if you will. I don't (as they say) have a dog in this hunt, it's just based on hundreds and hundreds of hours of usage.

The author of this essay makes a central point: it works, we know how to use it. Plus, in earlier threads, I said that Ff would prove to have its own bugs and holes once its profiles were raised. I was treated to some pretty arrogant scorning for my thoughts -- and then along came several articles making just that very case.

I had a website that Ff wouldn't (and still won't) read. I reported it as a bug. I got back the response that it wasn't a bug, it was improperly coded, so Ff would not be changed.

Proper, improper -- what do I care? I just want to read the page.

Avant does it, Ff doesn't. Avant has about all the features I want, Ff doesn't.

It's really about as simple as that.

Can I quote you on that? I'll ring you in two or three years. Should be amusing...
