The webdeveloper extension is the biggest reason why I keep coming back
to firefox. I like epiphany... but if I had to choose just one, it's
going to be firefox.<br><br><div><span class="gmail_quote">On 1/7/06, <b class="gmail_sendername">Ben Aldrich</b> <<a href="mailto:vrecan@gmail.com">vrecan@gmail.com</a>> wrote:</span><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">
I have tried just a few days ago to use epiphany again and its tab
handling drives me nuts.. there is no extension to allow all things to
be opened in tabs which means its unusable for me. Plus atleast
the default epiphany in ubuntu repositories removes the url bar after
you type in the first place you want to go. Talk about a horrible thing
for usability(I know this can be changed easily but who's bright idea
was that as a defalt?). Plus when saving files it defaults to
going to my home directory even though desktop is set in the prefrences
dialog. Then there is the fact that when saving to directories
its almost never the directories that I have set in my places for gnome
and it never remembers the directory you last saved that file type to,
which firefox does. <br><br>In almost every way firefox 1.5 is better then epiphany for
my every day use, and same for my mother who is an ubuntu user.
She is constantly saving images and other things from email that would
drive her nuts having to tell epiphany every time where to save her
images. Just because you want to save things in a directory you
shouldn't have to map it to your places in gnome. <br>Then there is the fact that you can use firefox in any os you are
in really helps the user feel comfortable in linux right from the
beginning. I think Openoffice helps in this respect aswell.<br><br><div><span class="gmail_quote">
