Firefox, the next IE6. (from extremely slow start up to color profiles)
Alert: No programming question here, but general programming interest.

Lately I find myself struggling a lot with Firefox.

First thing I do when I came to work is open Firefox, Chrome and IE9 Beta. Chrome loads first, of course. Some seconds later IE9 is up. But... where is Firefox?! I don't know.. I just hope it will be up there after I come back from my coffee.

Back with my coffee, I open the project I'm working on in Firefox, but suddenly I see a strange thing. The background image color does't match the background color anymore... What!?$#

Yes, from Firefox 3.5+ you will probably stop seeing websites as you used to. They introduced as default [ICC color correction][1]. Mozilla claims that is an improvement and a 'stick to standards'... mmm I don't know.. Easy fix? NO. The true is that now you have to [change all your images color profiles][2] in order to make it look good. And after you did it, you will find that now the colors don't fit in Chrome and IE. After that I was exhausted, broken, so I took a nap and dreamed about Firefox 2... great times.

Another thing it really drives me crazy is the dotted outline Firefox adds to all the links and buttons when focused. Easy fix? YES. But now go and ask all the world's webmasters to add -moz-outline:0 none; to their website. I see it a lot, in big website also.

Other things you don't like about Firefox? Post it!

PS: Love Firebug... and Chrome :)
