This entire post had me on the floor laughing. Just read on about it and the thoughts regarding Firefox. My God, do these people live in caves??
Now I’m aware that the Mozilla Foundation has ported Firefox to Windows here but when can we expect a true native Windows version to be released?
I assume that with the upcoming release of Internet Explorer 7 that the Mozilla Foundation can’t just sit idly by while IE takes the market share back.
Some of the things that would need to be addressed for a native version are as followed:
- GUI accessibility for Windows Profile favourites instead of Mozilla profile favourites in a custom secret Mozilla format. Such that they are stored as shortcuts accessible to the shell.
- Use standard controls instead of custom ported ones that don’t confirm to the norms of the platform (e.g. text boxes, list boxes, combo boxes etc).
- Place the cached items in the CORRECT place for the platform instead of a custom location so that they can be managed by applications designed for the standard platform. [Read the rest]
