Mozilla Did It!

[david123]

haha very nice record.. lol.. zybez supported the record too. =]

 

[lagbot]

I downloaded it and it's not as good as the previous firefox

 

[Louis]

Got me a certificate But ff3 keeps crashing on me,they better fix that
EDIT: Can someone give me a link to firefox2 installers? xD

 

[sacred_user]

I downloaded it on that day and im using it now. Its a really good browser, doesn't crash for me like some people are saying.

Nope, they did. http://www.msfirefox.com/

I searched Microsoft.com for Firefox and that website wasn't there. Are you sure it wasn't just a joke promotion?

This is what makes me suspicious of this site:

Fun at the speed of light.

Tired of slow image rendering? Microsoft Firefox 2007 can deliver online pornography at blazing fiery speeds. By using a proprietary dynamic algorithm, anything that remotely resembles a tit or a boob will download up to 10 times faster!

Also, the many tabs for features are extremely stupid and joke-like. I think you'd have noticed this.

Firefox is dumb in my opinion, last time i tried to use firefox they gave me ad ware that never went away, every time i used firefox i would get constant ads, but they set a world records is all that counts

What in the world are you talking about? Firefox does not come with any spyware/adware and chances are it was from some other foolishness of yours. Please do not tell me you are an internet explorer fanboy. IE has so many purposely implemented, yes purposely implemented holes in it put in by Microsoft that allows a person to remotely install trojans, spyware etc on your computer just by opening the browser.

I was one of them.

If it installed Adware, do you think it would have over 8,000,000 downloads?

I hope you realise that that is a joke... A completely untrue dig at Microsoft made by some open-source nut.

Anyways, I found it funny that a major security vulnerability was found in Fx3 the day after it was released. "Yay! 8,002,530 people have to update!!"

Anyways, I prefer Opera. It's much better in every possible way.

Yeah I did. It's just someone told me they did, and I didn't read too much on that page. My bad

Mozilla Firefox > Internet Explorer

I take it you're talking about ActiveX?
Yes, that was the case in the past, but now every ActiveX control needs strict permission from the user to run. In Vista, ActiveX controls embedded in web pages cannot touch the rest of the operating system.

IE8 improves even more on this. The whole ActiveX security issue will be a moot point within a few years.

Anyway, Firefox plugins are just as easy to exploit as ActiveX. Don't assume every extension for Firefox is safe - because they aren't.

Firefox is also a memory hog (despite improvements in Fx3) and is slow when rendering pages.

It also (for me) set itself as my default browser when I installed it. I could not disable this 'feature'. This is something the open-source community has always criticised Microsoft for (and MS actually got sued for making IE the default browser in Windows) yet they're doing the same thing. Unwanted modification of system settings is a characteristic of malware. Chew on that, Firefox fanboys.

Anyway, I suggest everyone use Opera. As I said before, It's superior to Firefox in almost every way. There's really no need for plugins/extensions because Opera has everything you'll need built in. Opera is faster than Firefox, uses less memory, looks better and renders pages better.

Also, I suggest you try out IE8 when it's released early next year. It's shaping up to be good.

Hahahaha! Fuck you Internet Explorer.

 

[Dark Zero]

I downloaded it on Download Day. For the first few hours that FF3 was released the Mozilla website was down.

I prefer Opera over Firefox though.

IE8 Beta already failed in my opinion. Its slow as ever and the skin is horrible. Considering its a beta, I might give it a try. But its Microsoft, so you never know.

IE8 Beta 1 was targetted at web developers, not end users. It's not supposed to look attractive or run quickly. It's purpose was to demo new features (better rendering, etc) to people who need to make the appropriate changes to their websites to accomodate the new browser.

I'm sure they'll improve on stability, look and feel and performance in future BETAs.

 

[xxmaulerxx]

[m@st3r 0f pupp3ts]
