Was helping a friend install firefox and he told me he didn't want to change a setting because it would void his warranty. I was liek wtf?!?!

First, it's "warranty". They have it spelled out right there for you, and if you're using Firefox it should underline misspellings in red.

Second, Firefox now uses a different message; I'm on 3.5.5 and now it says "Here be dragons". Maybe this is because I'm using the English (GB) version and they expect people there to understand what that means.

Should have msged me maybe I could have edited it Smile

Why would it have ever said "warranty" though?

You did read the license before you installed it? right?

! ha ha. Well, you should graze through at least few lines, euphoracle, before you install something. You might click "install" and then find out that all the money you put into your bank account online now belongs to the bank and you can't get your money back...

Not that it happens... Twisted Evil

In my part, I install mozilla without reading the conditions that may apply. But it went perfectly. Like what I have read, there is no warranty for mozilla. I guess it is just fair since its distributed free.

When you go into
about:config

It says "This may void your warranty"
