[OT] Re: Firefox - why is it better?

I used to feel the same but I'm now using Firefox & Thunderbird instead 
of Mozilla. The turning point for me was the improved interface for 
incremental searching of pages and source (type '/'), and the improved 
ability of TB to enable images in email on a message-by-message basis.

The only problem I have found in configuration is that Mozilla provides 
a GUI to select the 2nd scroll-wheel action (which goes backwards and 
forwards through history by default), and Firefox doesn't seem to. This 
causes erratic skipping through history if you fumble on a Synaptics 
touchpad which simulates the second scroll wheel.

The workaround is to use the power-user about:config URL to locate the 
setting in mozilla, and replicate it in Firefox:

mousewheel.horizscroll.withnokey.action: 0
