Simply put: Firefox 3's rendering engine sucks.

While Firefox 3 has one or two really cool features, and while it claims to be more reliable and perform better, the bottom line is that it has introduced a countless number of new problems.

I seem to notice a new, major issue every other day, and as I continue to upgrade regularly through my package manager, they continue to get worse and worse.

If you are using Firefox 3 you may notice the numerous issues with CSS, which result in awkward colors and alignment issues. You may even notice several other bugs in Firefox 3 concerning table widths, and the use of 100% dimensions failing to scale to the desired size. Another huge annoyance is the inability to remove a browsed file from the input area of an upload field in a form. There are several others I've mentioned over the past month or so in my blog, if you want more information. These issues only exist in Firefox 3, and will not be a problem in Firefox 2, Internet Explorer, or Opera (for the most part).

If you know what's good for you, I'd strongly recommend sticking with Firefox 2 for at least another year, or until you hear me preaching about how great it has become. If it weren't for the fact that my damn package manager won't let me install Firefox 2, I'd remove every trace of it with a big grin of relief.

Obviously, since I wouldn't recommend Firefox 3 to anyone, I have pulled all of the advertisements for Firefox from TT. They will not go up again until the Firefox development team fixes some of these major design and rendering issues which are degrading web sites.

If you think I am babbling on from my own spite to how it displays my pages, you are wrong. Many of the rendering issues I've been noticing with Firefox 3 effect a wide range of web sites, and the issues, while perhaps minor, are prevalent almost anywhere you look.

So as a web designer myself who has a keen eye for these things, I'd have to tell you that Firefox 3 is a big disappointment so far. While I've never been completely satisfied with a Firefox release to date, I would at least stand by version 2 more so than any other browser.

Britt (10:05): i knowww. it looks..creepy. it's like..a bridge..then it disappears into the water.. then comes back out. and the picture i ofund on google..shows a carrier over top of it

NeroAnima (10:04): Ick, tunnel under water sounds scary

NeroAnima (10:03): It sounds like it worked out better with the new home then. If I ever end up getting a dog (i want one badly but yeah, time and money) we're gonna have to train it to respect the bunny so that Little Lev still can be free range. I hope that won't be to hard

Britt (10:03): eww.. where i'm moving..apparently there's a tunnel that's underwater that you have to drive in to get to base. wtf

Britt (10:02): yeah.. i was worried about it.. i wanted to keep him, but my parents would of made him live in the backyard.. with dogs. and that'd be too stressful.

NeroAnima (10:01): It's nice that he got a good new home.

Britt (10:01): i kinda miss him.. but the girl i gave him to absolutely loves him. she got him neutered and he's nice and fat and he has a huge cage and everything

NeroAnima (10:00): Little Lev loves paper and boxes, thankfully not so much for chords. But you never know so that's why he shouldn't be behind the TV and all of the consoles.

Britt (10:00): he chewed 2 of my roommates laptop cords

Britt (10:00): my bunny was allowed free range in the long hallway, my bedroom, the spare room and the bathroom.. pretty much the back part of the house. but he pissed me off because he LOVED cords
