Firefox's Javascript parser is f****d up. I noticed it while testing some Javascript I was writing. Way f****d up. It was occasionally giving me random errors, not catching infinite loop errors, and the DOM wouldn't work properly. So, I tested it in internet explorer and voila, it worked. It's a good thing too: who the hell would ever catch a problem with the Javascript parser EXCEPT somebody writing Javascript?
I'm going to take a wild guess here that it's a virus, probably one crafted by Microsoft. But Mozilla needs to deal with this crap. I mean, come on, a basic Javascript parser -- isn't that crap provided to the public for free by Netscape?
In between this and Firefox bouncing when I remove all toolbars and bookmarks from the GUI, this is bulls**t. |

| Javascript? What the heck is that? I've got it, but up to now I haven't actually taken the time to find out what it actually is. |

| Opera actually has the fastest Javascript implementation of the big browsers. Firefox lags wayyy behind the competition in Javascript. |

| You can try regular Mozilla or Opera. I would avoid IE as much as possible. |

i use mozilla.
Firefox acts like a jumping bean for me. Hasn't been fixed in two versions.
I want a fast, stable, light browser. And i'm willing to have a bit of give and take on those points.
If I wanted a naked blindingly fast browser I would use Opera. But its just ugly and clunky. Not enough of what I want. |
