When I try to log-in to this web site with my longstanding credentials, no error message is displayed and the page "shakes" briefly like a car hitting a rut on a dirt road, and it appears that I am not, in fact, logged-in.

What is more basic and elementary than a log-on page, for crying out loud! One would think that with all of the (ostensibly) technically knowledgeable people involved with Mozilla and its software, that someone would be able to produce a user-friendly web site. Instead we get user-hostile nerdy geek stuff that might have been clever for 15 minutes 40 years ago.

So what's up with the "shaking" as some moron's idea of an error message that fails to effectively communicate any useful information so that the user can take measures to correct it or otherwise be able to log-in?

They're probably the same moron who decided that no one should ever be able to open more than one tab for the same web site page. Whoever decided to make that change in Firefox 4 obviously does not have a clue as to how to use the browser that s/he is changing. Why are they even on the team?

Everything that I read about Firefox 4 inspires me to re-consider using Google Chrome.

(P.S.: please look up the definition of "moron" and consider how I've used it before you take offense. The shoe fits.)
