1. Crashes on e-paper Hindustan Times window. Go to Mumbai e-paper. Click on any news item, try to close the new window. Crash! (BTW, what technology is it. ASP, Java.. like that?)
2. Firefox wouldnt open orkut (which has google alliance!) properly on Login page! I cant check now, coz access to orkut is (and personal sites)are banned)
3. In IE Ctrl + N facility opens a new browser window, reloading the page as well. In Firefox, havent found this functionality either with Ctrl+T or Ctrl+N
My very few and very petty grouses against Firefox.

Hello,
There I am!
1) It doesnt crash in my case. I am using Linux and Firefox 1.0.4. So its more a windows related bug. There is no technology. Just dynamic HTML. Yes script name does contain 'asp' but asp passes HTML to browser. Browsers dont understand ASP but HTML.
2) Orkut opens in Firefox. I have never used IE or even windows in last one year. Never faced any problem with orkut.
3) In IE Ctrl-N opens same page on new window which is annoying because when you press ctrl-N you dont mean to SEE the same page again, but you want to open some new link. If you want to reload page you can always press ctrl-R.
TIP: If you want to open a link on that page in a new window, then you can always middle-click on that link.

Btw finally installed Hindi fonts and can see your dates in Hindi. But these font design is so bad, half letters take full size making things difficult to read. Wonder why even google chose them. They should come to me for fonts. I have designed phonetic fonts (type as you spell) and the words look exactly as they are supposed to be!
AM.
About point 3, what I meant was, on IE, you have gone from say home page--> sports page--> cricket news, now if I press ctrl+N on this page, it opens a new IE window with cricket news loaded. More imp., I can use the back button on this window to go back to home page, while on the first window, I can continue to browse cricket news. I do this frequently, but in Firefox, it doesnt allow you to do that.
Hindi fonts are awful, yes. Google needs people like you.
Ok. I dont think you do the sequence you mentioned, in that order, everytime. However I still gave you TIP which in my opinion is a better way.
Go to Homepage. Then middle click on Sports link and that will open new window/tab (as per your settings) with Sports page and there you can click on Cricket on that new page.
However if you still need that functionality here is Firefox extension for you, which will duplicate tab or window with history as well:

As ctrl-n and ctrl-t are reserved for opening blank windows and tabs, you need to do ctrl-shift-n and ctrl-shift-t.
That you wont find tough, would you?
See the power of Firefox! Can you do that in IE? Infact why do people compare the two?!!
Btw there is only one company which deserves me, and I am already in it! ;-).
AM.
I also used Ctrl+N regularly to open a new windom with the same page I am looking and its history. It is useful if you want to fill forms, specially in secure sites that log you out fast. I'll follow your recomendation with Shift to see if it works.
Thanks!
ctrl-shift-n and ctrl-shift-t didn't work for me...
