The new browser, it's a mess. My advice is skip it.

I have no issues? Seems fine - I like how when keying in a URL, it shows similar visited w/ description.

Works well for me - in fact with a wide gamut monitor it is the only browser (and I have tried Safari - which does not handle images without an embedded profile well) that works properly.

Does the subject have to about weddings or can ot be something relevant to wedding photographers? I haven't read the rules in a while.

Not really sure how this is relevant.

I guess one can make just about anything relevant if you want...

I was going to try some new toothpaste. What toothpaste would be best for a wedding photographer to use? I want pearly whites and fresh minty breath. What brand do you suggest?

Marcus, this is how negative wrongly made rumors start. You are not offering us anything except what seems to be your personal frustration......without elaborating.

I have not had one bad issue, nor has anyone that I know of that uses the old or new version.

With computers there are so many different configurations that it can actually be any program on your system that is clashing with Firefox on yours. For all we know you could have tons of illegal programs on your computer causing your Firefox problems.

I'm jus sayin

This is about as related to wedding photography as the other thread right now seeking recommendations on "best cough supressant" [sic].

Jonathan, the other thread is somewhat related. It actually has to do with a problem they have with an upcoming wedding.

What using firefox has to do with a wedding I'm not sure.

Maybe, just maybe ... the OP was sharing a heads up to his friends and associates on the wedding forum that may want to avoid a problem. Don't we all use browser's to view and participate on this forum? Wouldn't be nice if we had advance notice that could spare someone from an annoying circumstance. The subject is nor more off topic than many other threads that have quite a number of comments posted.

...I just wish it said what he didn't like about it - I say the exact opposite, it's awesome.

Nope .. the OP offered an unsubstantiated, personal & negative observation about a widely used and accepted web browser.

Now if he offered more specifics about the supposed problem(s) then we may have something worth reading and checking into ourselves.

As it stands his comment is just as stupid as saying "don't drive a Honda".

Yep OT. I prefer Firefox 3 to the older version; finally, a color managed browser for Windows!

How to turn on color management

Couldn't agree more with you Mike (as I do on many of your views) on the merits. There is not much meat in the original post. But I don't see discussing the actual details or observations to be OT. No more than discussing any other tool we use. Those topics also often begin with unsubstantiated claims. Through the flow of discussion we often all learn something new and useful. Hopefully Marcus will revisit the issue and clarify more in detail.
