As much as I’ve been finding myself dragged over to the FF camp over the last year, there have been some dark clouds over the browser that would be king.
First, it seems either no one is testing FF3 on the Mac or whoever it is that’s testing it doesn’t realize that not everyone can use a mouse when using a browser. I can but others can’t and when you make it so that drop-downs and checkboxes and radio buttons are not selectable via keyboard….only by mouse click…people with disabilities who might be using a key that–wow, everyone, uses–are sort of left out of the loop…ouch.
It’s real simple…just fucking focus on the damned control! Why is that so hard? Just a little code…just a simple hack. Nutters.
Second, this one just fucked me today actually. Turns out, when you’re about to REMOVE ALL YOUR COOKIES because you’re half-asleep and thought the Remove ALL Cookies button looked a hell of a lot like the Remove Cookie (singluar bitches) right next to it, no one at Mozilla thought it might be worth putting in a confirmation alert to be sure you want to fucking WIPE all your cookies. FFS, I don’t remember all my fucking logins and now I’ve got to figure them all out again. Thanks, Mozilla. Your laziness over a few lines of code just added to the time I have to spend remembering (or using those forgot pass links).
I never understand why it’s so hard when you’ve got a full team of developers (one man shows are harsher) and QA people to build solid products, regardless of platform.
So much for that Web platform…next?
