Hopefullky they will fix this on one of the upgrades that will come out soon. I like that Firefox fixes stuff on a pretty regualr basis where IE can sit for months with something broken. It is obvious that IE suffers from the being supported by a big company syndrom. They are slow to make a decision.One change in Firefox 2 that is a step backward from the last version: If you open a lot of tabs, Firefox shrinks their size a little and puts arrows at the left and right of the tab bar so that you can scroll back and forth. The previous version shrunk tabs a lot, so you could fit many more into the tab bar. I'm dinging Firefox's score for that one. IE 7 has the same problem.
Yep, Too many cool extensions in Firefox thansk to open source code. IE may never catch up in this department.Lastly, the extensibility of Firefox 2 is its knockout punch, and IE's add-ons cannot compare. The flexibility and customizability of Firefox might be best suited to more advanced Web users, but it has earned its spot at the top of the browsers.
