Firefox 4 for 4 Minutes
Yeah, it’s a stupid headline, but it’s true. That’s how long I gave the new Firefox beta a try.
I read about how it was ready for the primetime and decided to give it a shot. It started fast and the panorama feature is very cool. The tabs on top seemed fine considering I’ve been using Chrome forever. Everything was great. Then I saw it. Or should I say didn’t? Where did my Firebug go?
I just can’t survive without the Firebug plugin at this point. I’m addicted. So I immediately downgraded to get my fix. I could use Safari or Chrome’s element inspection. But let’s be honest, that’s no where near as user friendly.
Everything is back to normal. I see that a roque line-height is causing that h1 to move down too much. The world is ok again. But as soon as Firebug support it, Firefox 4 will be back on my computer.
Update: Maybe I was a little quick to judge. Firebug for Firefox 4 is in Alpha 9 right now. I’ve heard that it’s pretty stable. So maybe I’ll give this another shot. False alarm, nothing to see here.
