Firefox 1.0 officially released

I still get spyware even with Firefox, just better and smarter spyware. Apparently.

Anyway, everytime I upgrade it forgets my favourites and messes them around and replaces all my good ones with porn. Oh wait. My bad. :upsidedow

I only use firefox because of those funky mouse gestures. They come in handy for fat lazy people like me :spin:

Can't wait to download it once I get back from the Mavs game.

I really, really want to buy that shirt. All I'm missing is the means to do it.

My crappyful computer finally decided to let it download and install! I'm so excited; it almost never lets me install new stuffs. So it made my day ^_^

Windows => IE
Linux => Firefox

That's generally how I do things...

Windows: IE, Mozilla, Firefox
Mac: Netscape
Linux: Firefox, Opera

I only have one Mac and it's my laptop...and it always breaks. In fact, it's broken now. *kills it*

For all of you heathens out there, repent and give up IE while there is still time and you can be saved.

Don't make me mod whore on you and hit the warn button 45 times :P

Seriously though why make a thread about it? Its advertised everywhere, its even in some national and international newspapers? I know firefox is good but in reality it is still only a browser. If your going to do this why not make a new thread everytime a new version of IE, Windows or Linux is released? Why not just do General Chat and Help a favour and make a damn'd Install Firefox and burn Windows forum?

Ok so maybe I'm being a bit harsh and probably deserve banning or a warning for this post but it annoys the hell out of me, its not even a notice telling of us a security hole its just advertising and repetitiveness, I'll stop talking now because I'm sure if I keep going I'm gonna get banned and I can't have that happen before I've sorted out rigging the ciddies so I lose :P

The only time I use IE anymore is to get spyware. It fulfils all of my spyware needs.

I mean, who wants to run Ad-Aware or Spybot and get 0 results found? That's boring. Besides, Firefox blocks all of my porn popups.

Ah, Bleys. :cool:

Spammer.

And speaking of spam, I need to get rid of Thunderbird and go back to Outlook Express. Thunderbird eats all of my penis enlargement, Viagra, and Cialis ads.

See, Baloki, what you're missing is that the people trying to push it are all nerds or geeks or whatever. (or most of them, at least.) If it's not for computer elitism, we have nothing to brag about. Seriously. Don't take this away from us...just ignore it.

How can I ignore it when its shoved down my throat in every help thread post and now it invades my General Chat safe haven, I use Firefox, I know its advantages and I know it to be a damn'd good browser, I just don't see the point of 102 threads expressing this fact, I really don't...

Dude, get hotmail.

The reason Firefox is being pushed is because with enough people using it, it will become a big enough threat that Microsoft will actually do something about their crummy browser. Right now, IE7 or whatever is slated for release in late 2006. Plus, if we can show that open source software can be competitive with a huge giant like MS, then maybe MS will start taking their OS seriously too.

There's one active Firefox thread in all the forums here.

Ah, but there are still the great, unredeemed masses who blindly follow Micros~1's lead into the Abyss. It is to save our poor downtrodden brothers that we must fight, with all our might!

We will fight in the chatrooms, we will fight on the forums, we will fight on instant messengers, and fight in online games. We shall fight in the papers, fight on bumper stickers and coffee mugs...

Thats because no-one has posted anything about a problem in IE for the last couple of days which is actually a thankful relief as they won't have to put up with a lack of help as people just tell them to forget their problem and switch to firefox.

Nobody has posted it because on the average, IE is pretty well behaved. It's only when you try to make it do things it doesn't know how (like display a webpage with floating images) that it explodes into a cankerous yellow fizzie drink :D
