Firefox3 woes

These days I use Safari almost all of the time. It’s not perfect, but it’s speedy, all the right features, has a lovely webkit page renderer and the developer tools are pretty solid too.

Firefox 2 lost a lot of love for me. It crashed, ran out of memory and was slowww. Firefox 3 is a nice step, it’s definitely a great browser and like any web developer, it’s real benefit is the Firebug plug-in, de-bugging javascript is just not as easy without it. But what the hell is this? Go direct to a page behind an .htaccess secured directory and it goes wacko - asking for a log-in for every linked file. Isn’t this the sort of stuff that I saw fixed back in Netscape 2?
