Hmm, I need to log in again to del.icio.us after clearing out my passwords. I wonder why my regular passwords don't work... oh well, time to start the forgotten password process.
Cool, got the email and now I'm on the site -- this should be simple:
I enter a weak password -- this isn't too important an account after all. Submit.
What's this? It's too short? Well why didn't you tell me on the first screen? Mumble, grumble... I type a longer password. Submit.
Aaaaaaaaargh!!! You fool!
- Why does a simple social bookmarking service need such strong passwords?
- If you do need them, give people the criteria on the first screen!
This is how the form should look:
I love you, del.icio.us -- please fix this!
I just upgraded to FireFox 3 Beta 5 and immediately felt the loss of FireBug. Although FireFox can't automatically locate an update for it,
FireBug 1.1 works in Beta 5 so
grab it now!
Also feeling the loss of my del.icio.us bookmarks, HTML Validator extension, and Alexa rating graph, I googled for a possible solution and came across this useful tip:
Enter about:config into your address bar, right-click in the window and select New -> Boolean and enter extensions.checkCompatibility for the preference name and false for the value.
Now, go into Tools -> Add-ons and manually disable your non-essential plugins (no need to tempt fate) and restart. You can enable your existing plugins one by one and see which ones work. All of my essential plugins work well under Beta 5.
Update: I've gone back to using the release versions of FireFox 2 and Firebug after running into issues with the JS console.
