On friday I downloaded and installed Firefox 2.0 RC3. Today I downloaded and installed Firefox 1.5.0.7. Why this step backwards? A few very irritating changes:
- Apparently you cannot view raw RSS files in the browser. Firefox now assumes every RSS file is feed (and they are) and assumes you want to preview it (I do) in HTML (I don’t). If I open an RSS file in my browser, I want to see the XML – period. If I wanted to see it transformed, I would open it in my feed reader.
- A bunch of my very useful plugins don’t work yet: UrlParams, JetBrains Omea Connector, OpenNewWindowFromHere, MeasureIt
- I hate having the ‘close tab’ button on the individual tabs. Makes it difficult close a bunch of tabs quickly
- Once a certain number of tabs were open, you have to scroll over to find them… SHOW ALL MY TABS, no matter how small they get…
Other than that, FF2.0 looked and felt pretty good.

I Miss CoComment
Tuesday, July 31st, 2007
I hardly even used it – but I really, really liked it! Unfortunately, it breaks too many things. Sometimes I have to disable the Firefox extension in order to post comments on certain blog platforms it doesn’t understand. I think this is the trouble Scoble is having. More critical is that it interferes with the slick javascript that runs Google Analytics.
Anyway, CoComment sits inactive in my browser status bar until I get around to trying the new version.
