FireFox
From Disperso
I hate FireFox. This is a bunch of (unsorted) reasons why.
Shortcuts, switching to next/previous tab, and the lack of help
I'm used to the lovely CTRL+, and CTRL+. shortcuts for going to the previous and next tab (that's Konqueror's default, IIRC). I wanted to switch tabs in FireFox with keyboard shortcuts, and somehow I got slapped in the face 4 times in a row:
- First, I checked in the UI if there was a way to see the keyboard shortcuts, and change them to my needs if I needed to. This is standard practice in the KDE world, so I dug in the menus, with no luck.
- Then I came to the Help menu. To my surprise, this is no help system at all, you are redirected to a website. Bad luck if you are offline.
- After a search, I found that there is indeed a shortcut to change to the next or previous tab. Unfortunately I can't find in my keyboard the eyelash key. What? Unfortunately, somebody did an awful translation, and instead of translating "tab" (tabulator) as "tab" (tabulador), translated it as "eyelash". After a second of two, I understood the mistake because I know enough English, but this "help" was quite useless to an average user.
- So at work, on Windows, I'm happy enough with the shortcut, but is useless at home, where that key combination is used by the window manager, so the applications can't see it. But how do I change it? The answer is as sad as this: you require a third party extension. In the support page, you are directed to the page of the customazible shortcuts add-on. That page is of course not translated to Spanish (not a problem for me, but for the average user, it can be). And here is the hilarious part: said add-on can't change the shortcut for switching tabs.
