Gemal's Psyched Blog - Comments on Mozilla: The Honeymoon is over http://gemal.dk/blog/2005/04/12/mozilla_the_honeymoon_is_over/index.html When Firefox's Mozilla came onto the scene four months ago it looked like an end to the constant struggle against Microsoft's Internet Explorer security vulnerabilities was finally in sight.

Everybody hates how the autoscroll is implemented, everybody wants customizable toolbars like IE has, that mentioned folder shortcuts bug and I can continue untill morning with this but it's pointless).The facts are like this: IE didn't had bugs like this when it was launched a few years ago (not even IE 4.0).IE 7.0 is coming really fast, no major features are planned to Firefox for the next months, IE will have all the features of firefox + tons of extras.I see a dark future for Firefox and Thunderbird too...and I'm very sorry.How many will switch ? Allmost all of them...maybe a few developers will stick to Firefox...(my case perhaps)MS has the advantage of a new and ***VERY*** expected product, the same advantages that Firefox HAD a few months ago..but they will play their cards very good...
