Firefox, You Suck.

What's going on with you Firefox? You seem to be sucking a lot lately. You know, when I cover a story and work an hour to key it into my content management system, then only to have you crash on me, I have a reason to be pissed. No, I cannot recommend you. Fix yourself, please.

Today while keying in an article, the busy icon appeared and spun around and around. I sat here for a good minute waiting for you to make it go away. Then, I clicked on you only to have you screw me over by putting up a transparent white layer, locking up my system. I couldn't move my mouse. CTRL+ALT+DEL didn't work either. Boy, this just sucked. The only way out was a hard reboot. Eff you!

This isn't the first time you have done this to me. In fact, over the past two weeks, this is becoming a bad habit. I've decided to kick you off my system because you suck so badly. How pissed am I? I have lost three 400+ word articles that took over an hour each to research and write. Each time I had to reboot, losing other work in my applications as well. Like changes to my company's business documents. Changes made to my spreadsheets. A brand new flow chart that took an hour to produce. Totally unacceptable!

Then, to make matters worse, I head on over to your Firefox Support Forum to see if I can find some advice and a potential means to fix this problem. Wow, does your Firefox technical support forums suck.

The format for support is horrendous. What happened to the nice threaded forums? Why are you deliberately putting up a totally unuseable website full of what looks like messages arranged in blog format? Do you not realize how horrible this is? Get a clue. People continue to use MozillaZine and it works just fine.

Hey you know, I have a hunch this crashing problem has to do with incompatibilities with jQuery given that the busy icon looks similar and my Content Management System uses jQuery. So I type "jQuery" in your search box and all that comes up is two entries. Now I know there is more messages than this because when I Googled "firefox jquery" there were more posts from inside the Firefox support website.

Firefox, I am putting you in the dog house. As far as I am concerned, you are a steaming pile of shit.
