!!! horible!!!! .. .who would acually use that peice of crap!!!!let alone make it !!!!! ugh!! the whole purpose of firefox is NOT to be like IE and look like CRAP. . and . .. . SUCK>... and have TOOLBARS !!.. . like commmon!!!!

But this is wonderful for people working in OSS-hostile environments where using Firefox entitles an employee to one free berating.

Wow, this is awesome. We're not allowed to use Firefox at school (although it would be insanely easy to install it anyway. Then there's just the risk of one of the teachers noticing it). But with this, there's absolutely no way that a casual glance over will betray anything

Why? Because the "security" measures our school has in place (not being able to download anything, for one) are non-existant for any browser besides IE (and even there, it's very easy to find workarounds).

All it is is someelse trying to make money there are enough ones out there already. On top of everything I did A speed test IE was 4 times faster than Firefox that is on the same computer

[the_short1]

umm,... Firefox takes 4x to load (program).. but if you tab your pages.. the pages load twice as fast.. .. and less pop-ups and ads taht steal bandwidth!

Thats actually quite useful.

Reasons I use FireFox:

• AdBlock
  
• Mouse Gestures
  
• Developer tools (plugins)
  
• Standards compliant (If your site doesn't work on FF, then it's not standards compliant)

I like Firefox too, but while it implements the standards it does nicely, it doesn't implement them all. Look at Apple's Safari for some really cutting edge stuff.

I believe that Safari (or at least a development version of it) was the first and only browser to pass the Acid2 test.

Lynx'll get there...just wait...

[rizzix]

lynx ?? haha...

[Martin]

I was thinking about this, and I'm not sure if browsers striving to pass the Acid2 test is a good thing.

For the same reason that IE's bad implimentation of the standards makes for a lot of poorly written websites, having browsers that handle broken CSS in the same way would inevitably lead to there being more broken CSS.

Just a thought.

[rizzix]

yes martin once again you make no sense..
