Saying goodbye to Firefox

Up until now I’ve been impressed by Firefox for several reasons; what with it’s once pioneering level of standards compliancy I’ve found it a great platform to preview my sites on, going with the principle ‘code for FF, hack (workaround) for IE’. A biproduct of FF’s success has resulted with the guys at IE pulling their finger out and delivering a half-decent ’standards-compliant’ browser.

But recently however, I’ve become a bit discontent with it; as far as I’m concerned it’s lagging behind the competition somewhat.

So is Firefox finally cracking under the pressure?

With the imminent public Beta release of IE8, which will be with us in the first half of this year and with Beta versions of the other major browsers already released, the next-generation, standards-compliant browsers are starting to become widely available - and with new versions, come new support for CSS amongst other things.
