I noticed that in a newer version of Firefox (1.5.0.7 for Mac OS X)
there is an auto popup that comes up with old text that I have written
in text input fields. That's not a very good thing. Suppose I have been
porn surfing or written other things that I don't want other people or
competitors to see; do you think I want that text to pop up? Not
really.
Also, the Javascript window in Firefox now shows errors for virtually
every site I visit. Maybe it's because the sites are not properly
designed, or maybe Firefox displays things that really should only be
warnings as errors.
Third, I have noticed major sites beginning to move into only Internet
Explorer content, such as MSN Live Video Beta and AOL Video. Some such
sites may work in Firefox for Windows with an ActiveX plugin, but I
doubt that such plugin will ever be safe, functional and frequently
updated enough to really make it work and keep up with the ActiveX in
Internet Explorer.
My conspiracy theory is that Microsoft has infiltrated the Firefox
developer community to confuse it and mess it up, while at the same
time pushing for Internet Explorer to be the only browser being able to
view new content on the web - such as videos and interactive web sites
- in a complete way.
