Firefox users feedback

[waldemar.hersacher]

Hi all,

I would like to open a feedback just for problems users have with Firefox and this forum.

I have to use MS IE at work since my system service sets up our computers this way but at home I have Firefox. So I have a good chance to compare what happens with MS IE and with Firefox. The MS IE version is 6.0 the Firefox version is 1.0.1. On both computers I use 1152*864 resolution on Matrox G550 or Matrox G400.

I detected two effects.

1. With MS IE I never detected that the text is to wide. With Firefox I need sometimes to scroll horizontaly to see the complete text. It's normally three quater of the size of the posters column.

2. Sometimes I see the page twice connected with each other. After the Copyright line the page starts again. It seems it is send twice in the case one of them gets drowned on the way over the pond, or is there a mirror server in Europe?

I would like to know if other users have seen something else. Either we have to ask Molly to trigger the Lithium team or the developers of Firefox.

BTW: This dialog is also a little to wide. It seems it is exactly the size of the vertical scroll bar. Displaying with MS IE with maximized window. Since there is enough border left and right it doesn't restrict the usability.

I also use FireFox 1.0.1 on WinXP SP2. PC is a Toshiba Tecra 9100 laptop with S3 SuperSavage graphics at 1024x768.

Besides my replies below, the spell checker does not work. When I run it, it finds the first misspelled word and lets me select an option, then after the selection, it it always comes up with the Spell Check Complete dialog skipping the rest of the message. I reported this not long after the new forums were released. Molly said she'd forward it to the developers.

I've also seen this from time to time.

I have not seen this, or at least never noticed it. I'll start watching for it and let you know. I'm in the US, so maybe the mirror theory is valid?

I can't think of anything else right now, but I'll keep eye out for gliches.
