Firefox’s community is definitely one of a kind, and you can find help for almost anything out there. That’s one of the reasons I use it, too.

What amazes me is that it looks like Apple doesn't take into consideration that Windows is a different context, that many users know IE and/or FF and/or Opera, mainly because these browsers (particularly the first two) handle fundamental aspects of a browser with common references concerning RAM, cookies, caches, history ... Apple has always given me the feeling that it was either devoted to geeks either devoted to silence. I'm not going to start a new browser when it seems so tough to find answers on what nowadays is the basis of Internet browsing security : cookies, history, caches.
