I’m Back to Firefox
I’m going back to Firefox today. Flock just didn’t have enough to convert me. The blogging tool was nice, but I’m willing to bet I can find a Firefox extension to do the same thing. The main deterrent were:
1) No automatic updates. Maybe this doesn’t apply to me, using Gentoo, as updates with Firefox aren’t exactly seamless, either.
2) The search bar had lots of bugs. It would pull up random sites instead of searching where I wanted it to. And I really like the auto-suggest the Firefox search bar has, the one in Flock sucks.
3) The “Open Link in New Tab” was really buggy, and I use that about 100 times in any given day. Sometimes it would open it in the very next tab, sometimes in at the end of the tabs, sometime at the 2nd to last tab spot. Just put it at the end, that’s where I’m expecting it. And when you close a tab, it doesn’t always go back to the last tab you were looking at. Just strange.
edit — I just found ScribeFire, a Firefox Extension which happears to be bettter than the blogging tool Flock had anyway.
