News to me. Looks fine here.
tables get screwed up,
Explain?
mouse wheel doesnt work
*Scrolls up and down...* Er. OK
it takes forever to load
Compared to what? IE? IE loads at boot. If you want the same for Mozilla, enable that feature.
css 2.0 doesnt work
Again, news to me.
the default skin is huge and ugly
No worse than IE. If you don't like it, it's easily changed.
the 10 toolbars take up soo much screen real estate
Er? I have 3. Menu, address, and my tabs. Again, if you don't like defaults, change them.
proxyserver information takes ages to load up.
Funny, takes me less than 5 seconds to navigate the menus to it and load it.
etc. etc.

im sticking with IE 6.0

Enjoy. I'll be here, enjoying Mozilla 1.0



(and for those who are wondering yes i did install it, and played with it for a couple of days)
Then you may want to edit the topic of this post to reflect the proper spelling of Mozilla.

Complain to the webmaster. And I have had about zero problems with the forums here. IE did go to infinite loop few times, here, but Mozilla hasn't had any problems.

mouse wheel doesnt work

Works here

it takes forever to load

Why would I want to load a browser again and again? I can more than afford the few seconds it takes Mozilla to load. And I don't restart it for the entire day after that.

css 2.0 doesnt work

You could be right, I dunno

the default skin is huge and ugly

Then change it! View ==> Apply theme. Difficult huh?

the 10 toolbars take up soo much screen real estate

Huh? What toolbars? I have no problems with screen real-estate!

im sticking with IE 6.0

Big surprise ;)

Mozilla: Built-in popup killer, excellent tabbed browsing feature, fewer security holes. Renders most pages just fine for me, including ATOT.

no the mouse wheel simply does not have full functionality. it works as well as a car with a running engine but locked steering wheel.

Ummmm.... I use the mouse-wheel to scroll. It scrolls just fine in Mozilla. I also use it to open links to new tabs in the bacground. Works like a charm. I fail to see the problem here.

the mouse wheel is supposed to have an auto-scroll feature, where you click and move the mouse up or down and the page will start scrolling. didn't work for me, i made a little thread about it and basically everybody said that's the way it is.

Oh that. You are right, it doesn't seem to work. Didn't notice that before since I don't use it. I use the regural scrolling.

Opera has that. I happen to hate that feature because it's so not precise... (too used to clicking the middle button to open links in background in new tab)

yea... i would but i set these forums to display 50 posts per page (because i hate having to get a new page after only 25) but when i just want to get to the bottom to see the new posts, it takes forever to scroll that thing. so i click and drag :)

With click and move do you mean that you click the middle mouse button and then can scroll by just moving the mouse around? Because scrolling the mouse wheel works fine here too. If you have a Logitech (compatible) mouse and it fails to work for you try installing the latest Mouseware.

Only reason I use IE most of the time still is because I'm so used to closing the window when done reading rather than just the tab I was in that I keep having to reopen the browser :p

I've always found that functionality bloody annoying in the first place, so I never tried it under Mozilla, just presumed that using newer Mouseware might fix it :)

I don't know what mozilla you used...but I have not experienced anything like what you did. You sound like you didn't even want to give it a chance.
