4 Years Later, The Mozilla Tide Has Turned

No! Instead put W3C logo at bottom that it complies to W3C standards completely... at bottom of slashdot..

Wait a minute..
yeah, but each time I'm with friends and they surf, and they get popups, I show them fire(bird-fox), and tabbed browsing.
I'm betting that Microsoft is getting customers faster than you're making friends.
I've been using firebird for a few months now and I find it very lacking in features. Users like me need a history feature that we can control. This similar to IE shit isn't good enough.
Say I'm working at home from 8-10 in the evening, then the wife goes to bed, it's porn time baby! Off to the hun I go and have my way with the ladies. I NEED firebird/firefox to help me out here. I don't want to loose the tracks I've made doing my research, but I sure as hell don't want my wife knowing about my addiction to midgets.
If the guys at Mozilla can't fix this feature, they are going to fall flat on their face. Now if they could put in a hidden history for porn time, that would be even better.
I'm using Firefox right now as a matter of fact, but I don't know where they're going with their icon designs...
the new logo appears to be a gigantic fox humping the earth
I wonder if that's the old IE 2 earth icon he's humping?
My girlfriend voluntarily installed Firefox before I did, and told me afterwards- imagine my swell of first shock, then pride :-]
Gentlemen, you can't fight in here! This is the War Room!
actually I'd figure this would be great as static pages don't change that often...
Kitty + microwave = boom?
You may just spark the curiousity of a few people out here. And stay away from my kitty!

No rich text controls, no pop up ads, no viruses, just pure web browsing bliss. They haven't looked back. :-)
Man, I wish I could get my mom using firefox/thunderbird. She has a burning hatred for the word "mozilla", and I do truly mean the word, because she's been using mozilla for a few months, I just disguised it to look like Internet Explorer and Outlook Express. She loves it, but she's convinced that mozilla is the devil or something.
