    Hi,

    No, FF 3 is great. Much better than FF 2, in fact.

    Yeah and what comes to my problem. For some odd reason i didnt doublecheck my own codes and more interesting, the page did work as it was ment to work, earlier but not anymore. anyway, i opened it and cleaned and boom, now it works with FF3 also =)

    Strange days…

    In terms of CSS both Firefox 2 & 3 are to the letter with CSS.

    Do you reset your CSS padding and margins before you start? If you don’t try Eric Meyer’s Reset.

    It gives you a common starting point and removes the different interpretations of browsers in terms of padding, margin and a few other things.

    In short though FF3 rocks!

    That should be clarified to read: In terms of CSS that they support both Firefox 2 & 3 are to the letter with CSS.  I was shocked to find that most CSS3 selectors and features still aren’t implemented even with the experimental -moz attributes in the FF browser family.  Here’s hoping 3.1 does.

    I’ve been running 3.1 for a while now, and it is a lot more stable on my system than 3.0 was. I think maybe once I’ve had 3.1 shut itself down spontaneously, as opposed to about once a day with 3.0

    Added: Grrrrrr. I posted too soon. @#$!!

    I wasn’t aware it was available for download yet, McGehee.  Looks like it addresses some of my CSS3 gripes, but still no support for @font-face. ::sigh::

    So <font face=”“> is not good enough, hm? 😛

    I know you post in jest but I can’t resist pointing out that that’s not the same purpose.  The deprecated evil font tag just handles things that the font: CSS attributes do.  @font-face allows you to create a new font for use in the font-family attribute, including setting default weight and pointing to a URL for the source of the font file, allowing you to use any font you have license to use, regardless of whether it’s installed on the visitor’s computer.

    Wow, really? So it’s basically server-side font handling?

    Thanks for clarifying, Derek. Of course I was joking, yes 😊

    Yep, here’s an example from my personal site on a web browser that supports it and one that doesn’t.

    Well that’s the dawn of a new era. How slim is the support for it?

    Just WebKit at present.  FF 3.1 and Opera 10 have it marked as planned.
