i really like ff. more specifically i like vimperator. i like to use that. since i discovered it, i have not used chrome very much.
performance is great already. but firefox would be even better if it 'loaned' these two features from chrome.
1. built-in flash player. i do not like that i have to install chrome just so that i can view flash videos on ubuntu. html5 is not everywhere yet.
2. better debugging. although i like the ui, the debugger suffers from a real flaw. today i was evaluating the value of some piece of code in the debugger. i expected it to be 1. it reported a 0 because the code had not executed yet. chrome does this better and does not report anything. then after the code has executed it gives the correct value, 1.
these two issues make firefox hard to recommend to 1. users and 2. developers, unless they are vim addicts.
oh yeah: perhaps firefox should do something to support vimperator. perhaps incorporate it into firefox. support it. vim users are a small group but they are the people who will be advising others on technical things.
