Firefox "myths"

[Darren Dirt]

Ironically, visiting this (presumably) pro-IE website will trigger a half dozen script errors (IE5.5 does anyway)

Ugh, it just gets worse from there...

1. Say that members of the "pro-Firefox" crowd claim "X"

2. "Prove" this by quoting/referring to a single source, preferably from a non-reputable personal website or blog or similar

3. "Debunk" this apparent "myth" in typical easy strawman-down-knocking fashion.

4. Ignore implications of pro-IE or even pro-Opera statements (e.g. low system requirements, but who in their right mind will run WinXP on a 486-66?!)

5. Lather rinse repeat

FF isn't perfect, but it's better than IE ... and I haven't tried Opera in 2 years so maybe based on what is said it really has improved that much, so I am open minded enough to check it out again, but I don't need to be lied/exaggerated/misled to in order to do so.

I read the whole site over the last little while; it's less anti-FF than I expected, with a surprising # of myths that I had also heard, so I guess the bottom line is whatever gets your task done the quickest/smoothest/happiest -- I use IE and FF equally (IE launches so fast, FF has great tabbing and rendering and extensions) and now I am considering trying the latest Opera.

None of the FireFox myths involve it punching minotaurs!
