Mozilla Firefox: I love Firefox' plugins, not Firefox itself

    by DotMG

With plugins, Mozilla Firefox is the browser I want it to be. I use Fx for its plugins, and especially Vimperator (for my case). No other browser can give me the satisfaction it's giving me, but I'm not that absolutely satisfied.

Firefox evolves much more rapidly than its plugins can do. Almost every plugin developer has to rewrite code with each big release (0.x to 1.0, 1.0 to 1.5, 1.5 to 2.0, 2.0 to 3.0, ...), so now, the plugin I love ... [More] the most (Vimperator) is focused on Fx 3.0, another plugin I really love (FireFTP) is not compatible with Fx 3.0, and I'm not sure it will be compatible when the final version of 3.0 will be released.

So, Fx is great, but it has to try its best to make the life of plugins writer more easier. [Less]
