My biggest problem with Firefox is it's really messy with tables. I don't understand how they could implement table formatting so poorly.

I'm not hating. I was enjoying it until my scrolling stopped working and I couldnt install MSN Delux for delux charts on msn money.

that's the problem of the site and it's noncompliant HTML.


Smooth Scrolling always worked here. Using a nightly also.

My IE2 gives you everything in firefox and still has the universality of IE6.

Mostly TVGuide. I've never had a problem with it in IE before. There are a couple other sites but I can't come up with them off the top of my head.

Whats wrong with TVguide? Looks fine to me. Using Firefox .8 last major release, no nightly.

And scrolling works fine for millions of people, doesn't for you. That makes it FF fault how?

FF has smooth scrolling? Ew.
BTW, my wheel works fine...scrolls, up, down, autoscroll works...it's great. The only bad thing is the table bug.

I'm using the exact same release and the cells overlap in some cases and run into each other in other cases.

Your like me. This is YOUR fault, as per all the people who seem to think a software bug is somehow the users fault. YOu need to fix it, its not FF or bad HTML, its ALL your fault.

Hey, it didnt work for me and thats that. Why? Hell if I know. Wish it did. I dont really like IE all that much due to the horrid gaping bugs and security risks. But fact of the matter it....If it dont work in IE, it doesnt work in ANYTHING. If it does work in IE...Doesnt mean it'll work in other browsers. IE is the standard. Thats just a fact of life.

I.E. + Tabbed Browsing + Popup Blocker = Crazy Browser - Don't leave home without it!

Tabbed browsing sucks! I like to be able to alt-tab between games I'm playing, email in Outlook, several IM windows, a thread I'm reading in one IE and the news I'm reading in another browser.

...then don't use tabs in that situation? I like being able to open multiple forums in seperate FF windows and then using tabs to open threads for that particular forum.

Some ignorant people seem to think by me clicking the Smooth Scroll and then it not working is somehow my fault. Like I broke it. Well, they probably think the same thing about this guys misfortunes as well.
