Firefox turns 8!

As announced on Mashable, Firefox is celebrating its 8th birthday today.




I have to say that Firefox is still in my browser tool belt for one reason: Firebug


As a web development "tinkerer", I find Firebug to be the best and easiest tool out there.  Sure, it's true that other browsers have similar functionality, but it's just not the same.  The biggest reason I can even pinpoint seems trivial when I say it, but for some reason... it matters a lot.  What is it?  Well, while Chrome Inspector makes you double click to edit items, Firefox requires you click just once. 

Am I really complaining about the extra effort of a double click?  YES!!  I'm on laptop. Clicking twice is annoying.  It would be one thing if single click performed one function while double click performed another, but that's not what happens in this case.

Anyways, happy bday Firefox!  Maybe your the 3rd most popular browser in the world because of your browsing capabilities; but for me, you're #1 for HTML and CSS tinkering!
