Pelicans Are Evil

 

The honeymoon is over...

I've been using Firefox 3 now for over 2 weeks and it was fan-bloody-tastic up until today. I'm a hardcore firebug user and I it was the deciding factor in upgrading to FF3.. No firebug, no upgrade. (I curse IE/opera/safari for not having a comparable tool when im forced to debug on those 'other' browsers). As i was saying fan-bloody-tastic.... I had to do some jquery debugging for a small search component I wrote. The combo of having FF3b5 and Firebug 1.1 installed caused the browser to crash for the following reasons:

1. Clicked a 'button' tag while a error existed in the log.
2. an error existed in the error log (this didn't happen all the time..)
3. random mouse movements (What the!)
4. Random reasons for which I couldn't give a crap to find out why. (-sigh- apparently alt-tabbing crashes FF3)

It was getting to the point where it crashed every 10 seconds for over 15 minutes. I was made worse by the fact I had a youtube tab open with a song that started to grate on me by the end of the day by the constant repeating.. (yes I'm that lazy to close the damn tab!)

I'm sure it's not Firefoxes entire fault. I think there's something not quite write about firebug 1.1 on FF3. Then again it was me who installed both app/extension so I'm really to blame :(

I also tried upgrading to firebug 1.2 alpha (which is really unstable). It was so good it wouldn't even allow me to inspect a dom element....! Needless to say I'm back to 1.1.

After today I'd almost say im ready to back to FF2, however the fear of losing my settings/favs + that damm adictive/productive address bar has me coming back for more.
