Well, turns out that a lot of plugins that were barely enabled for 3b5 were now just not going to work with RC1. And being a heavy user of plugins, I just can't live without them.

I think before I plan to do a permanent upgrade to FF3, I'm going to wait until one or two security/stability releases. By then, most plugins should hopefully have matured so that I can again utilize them.

This all said, I think Ubuntu has made some grave mistakes with this last release candidate and they have compromised the integrity of their distribution by attempting to remain cutting edge. I enjoy cutting edge technologies as much as anyone, but I prefer system stability overall. Well, I probably have to wait another half year before 8.04 Ubuntu becomes stable, but by then 8.10 (or whatever) ought to be out. But I think I'll stick with 8.04 just to make sure my system is stable (or what's left of it).

As far as Firefox is concerned, I can't fault them in this. I can't even fault the plugin authors who have yet to update their plugins. But I'm just going to have to be patient while these issues get solved.]]> Mon, 19 May 2008 09:48:58 -0600 http://www.keithwatanabe.net/blogs/2008/5/19/f75882aab9f42b7fa7265b97c5b7c476.html
