• The 1.8 update of #TwitterFox irritates. The tabs show when i click in the textarea. Also the character count is not showing . Ur XP ? #
• @vinodunny #firefox haan so dont blame a beta browser. Also 3.5 (earlier called 3.1) is CSS 2.1 complaint. in reply to vinodunny #
• @vinodunny #firefox before u use this against me. I meant CSS 2.1 compliant and not CSS 2.1 complaint #
• @vinodunny #Linux now u r behaving like "pushpa" Your side issues 100 warnings bout beta. But they forgot to warn about Vista. I forgive in reply to vinodunny #

• @vinodunny #firefox #linux #google they will not be able to get away. You are watching ! in reply to vinodunny #

• @vinodunny if sudo does not do it, then perhaps something else in Linux can. MS is good at packaging. in reply to vinodunny #
• @bineshkutty sorry it was just an interval #
