It's already on alpha. With a new version coming on the block, do you think we're going to need to adjust again to its needs, or will it do the favor for us this time?

Firefox has been getting a lot of hype lately, especially last year. Along with this came the issues about website compatibility. Apparently, a lot of websites have been used to Internet Explorer. As such, a lot of websites could not be viewed by Firefox, and the lot of Firefox users sent complaints to both Mozilla and the webmasters. I myself have experienced this problem - a page I designed showed perfectly in Internet Explorer, but when I tested it on Firefox, the page was like a jigsaw puzzle.


I hope we don't experience this kind of predicament again. What do you guys think?


Also this further complicates (and also compliments) the upcoming release of Internet Explorer 7.

I think it's going to be a worthy apponent for IE 7, it might even win the fight.

If they manage to keep it as refreshing as the older firefox and fux the bugs they will have a killer browser in my opinion and i will surely use it.

Yep... I agree. And I think Internet Explorer 7 will be as bloated as ever. :P

So far the major change I've heard about IE7 was tabbed browsing, but they should've done the same months ago to topple the spree of Firefox. Now that it's the only intruguing feature in IE7, I don't think it can tackle Bon Echo.

Unless of course, Bon Echo presents itself with a bunch of bugs on its official release. First impressions last!

I was a fan of IE once but when Mozilla presented its new browsers, I quickly love its browsers. I don't about others but in my computer, its much faster for browsing when I use firefox other than IE.

Well, anyone got any comparison between IE7 and Bon Echo?
