A Firefox Downfall
Firefox has finally shown a flaw. For the past week, it has crashed several times without warning and (according to Firefox) without reason. I am not sure if this is caused by a program I am running that does not work well with Firefox, or if there is something wrong with the browser, but this has happened several times recently. It usually occurs while I am running more than one window or a video player (ESPN 360 for example), so this may have something do to with it. If this is the case, then Safari surpasses Firefox in this area because I never had this problem with Safari. However, this is my first and only problem with Firefox... so far.
Also, I have encountered some problems with OpenOffice. (These aren't necessarily problems, but inconveniences.) I cannot open an OpenOffice document unless I open it through OpenOffice. For example, when I created a document using Pages or Word, I can open the file by simply finding the file and selecting it. I didn't need to first open Pages, and find "Open Document" in Pages. All that was necessary was to find the file. With OpenOffice, I have to open the program and open the document through the "Open Document" link. When I tried to open the file itself, it would open in Textedit. This means I need to pay more attention to where I save files and how I open them. This happened with a mid-term I was supposed to turn in to my English Education professor. Before class, I could not understand how to open the file in order to print it, and I was left with my mid-term in Textedit with achingly small font which I was unable to adjust. Very embarrassing to say the least.
I also tried to email documents to one of my professors and they were unable to open them. I exported them to another folder as PDFs, but the images were jumbled with random text everywhere. I am not sure if there is something I am not doing, but if this is true then OpenOffice needs to make their program easire to navigate.
