Long live Firefox! I anxiously await the final release of FF3. Since using Firefox years ago, I’ve only used IE when forced to test a website in it. IE’s limitations and restrictions are irritating for web developers, such as myself. I will continue to encourage people to use Firefox and rally the fans to smash [...]
