You know, you might be looking at a screenshot that has font settings (hinting etc) which work on the originating display and fail on yours. No reason to jump to snarkiness.
You do realize the screenshot is an image right?
If you are unfamiliar, I recommend you also checkout firefox developer edition.
Having to hunt down the option to turn on Sync for each extension explicitly and not even having that option for some extensions makes for a rather poor user experience.
Also, as someone who customizes the browser layout rather extensively, I'd like to see layout settings included in Sync as well (which toolbars are visible/how buttons are organized on toolbars/etc).
I'm presently in the middle of an experiment to use Firefox (and its Developer Edition) as my primary browser when performing my duties as a web developer. So far... It's been kind of rocky. Daily usage of the browser isn't that bad, but the developer tools are lacking compared to Chrome. A good example is the Network tab. In Chrome, I need only have the developer tools open to capture information about requests. In…
One minor grievance I have with the Firefox console is the input line is all the way at the bottom. I quite like Chrome's approach of starting at the top. Firefox has a few of these irritating UX quirks that I just can't get over. Having to restart after installing an extension is another. Every time I see the request, I can't help lose a bit of respect for it.
It depends on the extension. Only some (particularly, older) extensions require restarting.
I switched back to Firefox and stopped using Chrome when it wanted me to 'sign in'. Even IE does not make me do that. I have to say their technical people are top notch, but their business leadership not so much. If they keep in this direction soon Chrome will look like the old AOL app. If you are unfamiliar, I recommend you also checkout firefox developer edition.
Recently switched back to Firefox. Their search engine selection option is so easy and excellent. On Chrome, non-technical people won't be able to change default search engine. Thanks Mozilla.
Yeah, cause so many people would want/need to change the chrome default search :). Firefox fans, it would make more sense for you to preach how good FF is, rather than how you can make it suck less... It is fascinating to watch you guys. You love Firefox OS because of its principles - even though it sucks. You love the Yahoo search engine even though it sucks. That is some religious zeal. Downvotes from zealots incom…
The benefits of open, non-profit motivated software are clear. So it's entirely understandable that people wish Firefox well despite it having some flaws in comparison to Chrome.
Meanwhile, in firefox 39a (current nightly), a reader view (readability/printfriendly) http://imgur.com/DONqb30
I see font rendering in linux is still pretty horrible.
I use debian and arch with http://www.infinality.net/blog/ and the fonts have never looked better.
