Updates

Updated 05/02/02 - IMHO, the most annoying bugs right now are:

Browser

  • Some pages don't work (Canal+, eHub) or are displayed incorrectly (WL console).
  • Copy of selected text grabs some surrounding HTML (and sometimes lot of it!).
  • Interface is sluggish, compared to IE (browser), Netscape (mail).
  • No completion of form fields. Very convenient on Google (site:... in the beginning) or Bugzilla for the CC).
  • No "fork" as in IE.
  • Strange URL field: I want to modify an existing URL without having to click 3 times, I want a shortcut to go to the URL field (ctrl-d).

Mail

  • No nsnotify.
  • When a message is half loaded (or not loaded at all), the only way to see the message is to copy it to an other folder.
  • Misc bug related to tabs (can't close empty tab with ctrl-w, window.open opens a new window, entering a URL creates a new tab).
  • When message opened in new window, can't delete it by just pression the delete key.
  • No spell checker.
  • Plenty of other minor bugs I could live with: no shortcut to send messages, copy message to folder doesn't always work, display problems in email editor, high memory consumption.

Some Positive Notes

  • Tabs are great (the implementation is just full of bugs right now).
  • I like the way Mozilla memorizes entire forms (just too bad there is no completion for text fields).
  • Displaying the favicon for each page is very useful when you have multiple sites opened at once.
  • Support multiple emails/profiles.

My conclusion

Mozilla still has a long way before becoming a product that I will want to use and recommend.
