Firefox v30 (Nightly Build)

I’m really enjoying Firefox v30. The new interface is pretty nice. And I’m finding that it is a lot faster than Chrome for a lot of sites. I’m going to try to switch over, but there are a few sites that just work better in Chrome (Google sites).

I’m also finding that Chrome isn’t working for a lot of sites recently. Like BofA and AT&T. Not the greatest examples, but I use them enough that it’s annoying. Like sometimes when I click things nothing happens or it reloads the same page. Might be a JavaScript bug but I don’t know. Another tid-bit is that Firefox passes the Acid test 100% and Chrome does not. Not sure if that means anything though.

What brings me to Firefox recently was reported bugs viewing some of the web sites I’ve build. Easy fixes usually but strange they display fine in Chrome/IE but not in Firefox. So I need to use it more anyway.

I think I’ll use it as my non-work browser for a few weeks. Time to find all the extensions I use and get them installed. The default theme is pretty good, but could be a tiny bit better. Fits my use case better than Chrome. I need to find a good ad blocker. FireFoxAdKiller doesn’t really seem to work all that well so far. Probably just me.

Anyway, I think I’ve typed enough words to be a decent size blog post. Back to my Chef server scripts…
