Firefox issues
I know this is strictly off-topic, but as this is still not fixed I can as well mention it here. We are talking the very latest version 1.5.0.7, but it's been this way a long time. Is it only me that's experiencing these things?
Cut/copy is broken
Try marking text right-to-left instead of left-to-right or marking the URL on the address line. It very often fails and I end up with nothing cut/copied. After a few tries it tends to work though, but why not always on the first try?
Crashes
Firefox seems much more sensible to rogue printer drivers than other applications, as it often crashes when I try to print something via File / Print. All browser windows crash simultaneously, so it's clear they are not running in different processes.
Otherwise it's no doubt a good solid browser that seems more light-weight than Internet Explorer.
