Thank you, Oh thank you.
Yes, you, all of you tireless Firefox coders. Right now, you just injested your seventh Mountain Dew in the last three hours. I know that the Mac OS X version is, well, not exactly on the top of the list when it comes to your priorities.
But, finally, you guys got around to making the delete key on my iBook act as the keyboard shortcut for “Back” in the Firefox Version 1.5 Release Candidate 1.
All you highly caffinated souls probably fail to grasp how much I desired this. Having to use the Command and Left Arrow soured me on using Firefox on my Mac. I used Safari for a while, but hated how many pop up windows, ummm, popped up. I then went to Camino for another while, I loved having a Gecko based browser, but I didn’t like the lack of flexibility that Firefox gives me.
I bit the bullet and went back to Firefox, which was my main browser before I left Windows in the dust. Earlier today, the 1.5 Beta copy I was using automatically downloaded the new RC1 copy. When I saw the “What’s New” page for this, yet once again I saw the words “Better support for Mac OS X.”
Many times, my eyes have read those words only to be disappointed that the one feature I wanted remained missing.
So now you know why my heart is filled with joy now.
