对于我这种升级强迫症的人,Firefox 3都到Beta 3了才换当然是有原因的…不过除了nings.cn所讲的插件原因,还有一点就是…Firefox在Mac上的表现实在是差强人意.
其实败了Macbook回来上网的第一件事就是装Firefox, 可惜2.0经常出现汉字重影,试了3.0汉字倒是没问题了, 强行修改的插件也工作不正常…没有了Tabmix和Super Drag and Go的Firefox对我来讲,表现上似乎已经和Safari没什么大得区别,此外, 也是最让人受不了的, Firefox在Mac上的速度实在让人不敢恭维, 而且UI即使做得明显是Mac风格,却总让人觉得有种别扭的格格不入的感觉, 于是的强烈的完美主义精神让我选择Mac原配且渲染速度更快的Safari
本来已经不对Firefox寄什么期望了(当然在Win32以及Linux平台Firefox都是我的首选) , Alex Faaborg让我重新对Firefox有了那么些期待.
Beta 3了,又恰好看到nings的文章,于是:
可以说是脱胎换骨的一个版本, UI已经完全更新到了Cocoa, 速度和以前版本也不可同日而语, 同时从nings.cn那儿弄来的两个我最需要的插件也正常工作了, 还有什么理由不 Set Firefox as Default Browse 呢
最后窃取两个插件地址,嘿嘿:
Tab Mix Plus: 下载
Super Drag and Go: 下载
The UI widgets in the nightly Firefox aren\'t all using Cocoa widgets. If you go to Firefox\'s Preferences, switch to another window, you\'ll see that the widgets don\'t change colour (they should change colour if the window is in background). Only the text box exhibits this behaviour.
Try the drop down menu. It is so much different than NSComboBox.
So, it is still not entirely Cocoa. But I am sure they are still polishing the UI. The new keyhole (forward/backward button) isn\'t in the nightly build yet, so everything isn\'t finalised yet.
Maybe they missed something, but it really is written as Completed in PRD on Firefox site.
Just the progress indicator on tab looks so weird...
I think they doesn\'t have time to implement everything. Most people are happy with this already.
My favourite browser is still Safari. Camino looks good as well.
Actually I love camino more. But it is not mature yet.
I just like the extensions of firefox, single instance and super drag.
Camino is relatively a small project. The plug-in community wouldn\'t be as large because it seems Camino doesn\'t run XUL like Firefox. I like Camino and it is good too! (UI-wise)
I don\'t use tabs in Safari exclusively - usually I open multiple windows so that I could recognise them in Exposé quickly and switch to them.
You can drag and drop links with most browsers. This just wouldn\'t work with plain text url, which I seldom encounter : )
I always try my best to open all the links in a new tab instead of a new window :D
And... I am so looking forward to camino :)
