Firefox 1.5

2006-03-03 10:25:40 | johann | #

I have set up a new box with Ubuntu 6.04 "Dapper Drake" which includes Firefox 1.5. Two small improvements were made, and the other Linux factories were updated too:

  • Screen resolution set explicitly to 90 DPI (to fix small fonts)
  • Mouse pointer moved explicitly to top left corner (to fix problems with mouse-over effects and multi-page screenshots)

Firefox dilemma

posted 2006-03-15 17:33:41 by susan

First off, thanks so much for offering this service - it's great to be able to check sites in all browsers. My dilemma - the screenshots of my site are great in all browsers EXCEPT Firefox which has text splattered everywhere. So, do I go through and re-do the site to satisfy Firefox and risk "upsetting" one or more of the other browsers or simply say to heck with it...my site stats show very few FF users.

FireFox is the Future

posted 2006-04-19 05:06:17 by Jeff Day

In reference to the previous posters comment, I would say that FireFox is the vessel for the future of the web. Internet Explorer continually fails to deliver, and the FireFox market is gaining every day, with huge backers like Google pushing it. It is here to stay, and as a courtesy to my clients, I design all my sites for FireFox, retro test them in IE and Opera, and when applicable, Safari for Mac. Only by authoring sites that are standards compliant can we release ourselves from a heavy reliance on proprietary tools. If your text is splattered everywhere, you probably need to visit w3c's website and take a tour of web standards, and code to the standards instead of coding to IE. More often than not, a site coded to standards will show up in a decent format in IE as well, but the reverse is rarely true. Hope you have good luck with that.
