Firefox 3: the CSS bugs

A call to web designers out there: noticed any differences in your sites between Firefox 2 and Firefox 3?

Personally, I’ve only seen the infamous outline bug. For those that haven’t experienced it, check Google pagination when clicking a link:

You can fix it though, piece of cake. Just add an a { outline: none; } rule. You’ll find yourself defining outlines more often than ever with Firefox 3.

The other bug is trickier: the new version of Firefox doesn’t seem to like background images. I admit I haven’t researched it much, but it’s a really annoying bug, as it blurs background images for no reason. Others have noticed as well.

To fully understand what I mean, check out the display of the background image live:

…and compare it with the actual image (seen here by right click > view background image):

Really, really annoying bug that one. It seems that Firefox has a problem rendering background images with background rules that also specify positioning. So it does not render well backgrounds defined with something like body { background: url("img/img.jpg") no-repeat top center; }.

It’s minor but irritating. Surely though I can’t go around breaking up my rules in two just because of this hiccup. I guess I’ll have to wait for 3.0.1.

Showcase: Zennaware Cornerstone website

Zennaware’s Cornerstone is a (or yet another a) sexy Subversion client app for Mac OS. I haven’t tried it yet, but I’m sure it’ll be pretty enough. But the site, oh, the site:

Awesome use of colours and grids in a page so informative it (kinda) hurts. I love it.

What I’d like to see differently: Screenshots should be moved to the top of the content, right after the introductory text. Screenshots is the first thing a user wants to see while checking out an app, especially a Mac user.

Moreover, I’m a sucker for big headers, but well, this one kinda hurts my 13.3” Macbook. Only thing I can see when full screen is the humongous logo, the download badge and some text.

Oh Blizzard, sweet mistress of doom

Blizzard has confirmed its existence to cause us orgasms again. They’ve gone and announced Diablo 3, complete with single player goodness and Battle.net love.

All vibed up, sexied up and ready to burn away our precious free time. Seriously, it’s the first time I’ve actually watched a gameplay video and I must say, I’m ready for this!

So.

Who’s gonna team up with my sorc on Battle.net?
