name some bugs I haven't noticed any.

here's one I found in less than 30 seconds of firefox 3's release
You just touch the zoom button so it zooms out and you get a tiny smashed window.

Nope. I don't. :)

That probably means you have adjusted the size since you started using Firefox, if you had just left it alone you'd have that issue. Although you can force this issue to come up by dragging the corner until you have that tiny window. Obviously that's still an issue with firefox since it shouldn't allow you to resize a window like that.

Nope! Never adjusted it from it's default size.

This kind of argumentation is ridiculous ;-)

Safari, Firefox, Opera, IE - all have a long list of CSS rendering problems, form upload problems, and a bunch of others.

Argumentation??

I know all browsers have bugs. I was specifically addressing bugs in Firefox as another user requested.

Ok - right ;-)
In the context of the whole discussion, was it maybe not a good idea not to mention that all browser have a long list of open bugs, and they will ever have a long list.

(more precisely, in the context of a lot of stupid, childish and unfair arguments in the whole thread here)

Doesn't matter about any of that stuff, because the fact of the matter is, Opera is a million times better.

Though if you do switch to Firefox, better for the Safari users. I hear less users makes Safari snappier :D

Ugh, shut up dude. Opera is the worst browser I've ever had the misfortune of using. You Opera pushes get on my nerves.

I prefer Safari over FireFOX, but my most used browser is still OmniWEB, which is very fast and used Webkit. I also like its site specific preferences.

Your point is moot. I was addressing the poster who asked what bugs were in Firefox.

Eh? Do you do that with an add-on? I don't think that's possible with a default Firefox installation.

That is one thing I hate about Safari - having to press CMD+Click to open links in the same window.
Really? I'm surprised. I CMD+Click all the time, and it doesn't bother me one bit.

no add-on required. its something so simple that annoys me so much about safari.
