   Reviewing 3.0.4 (Nov 12, 2008)

   I like much about 3.0.4. It installs over existing versions without breaking anything, so my plug-ins and themes are fine.
   
   However, this specific version under LINUX has some Serious Font Rendering Problems, especially compared to Opera 9.x for Linux.
   
   On the Windows side, this issue does not seem to exist. But under the Linux distrobutions I have tested it with (Kubuntu, Mandrake 2009, openSUSE 11.x and others) the font rendering is very, very poor compared to Opera.
   
   If you have any doubts about the veracity of my claims, please, test it for yourself. It is painfully obvious, and very frustrating.
   
   It is because of that problem in particular that I'm rating Firefox lower on the Linux side than on the Windows side.
   
   If there is some way that they can fix that font problem in the browser engine, I'll bump it up a notch in score. But until then, a 3 is what I think it deserves.

   Reviewing 3.0 Beta 1 (Nov 20, 2007)

   Slightly worried about all the "We're not going to fix all the bugs before 3.0 final release" (http://www.theinquirer.n...ozilla-fix-firefox-beta) talk recently coming out of the Mozilla Foundation.
   
   But I'll still use it as its the best browser out there.
