Firefox Browser On An Upward Trend
carbolic writes "The Firefox browser is ramping up as fast as Internet Explorer is ramping down. According to these stats posted from the Engadget logfiles, IE has dropped to 57% of all browsers used to visit the site, while Firefox is up to an amazing 18%! The Engadget stats reflect an early-adopter consumer crowd and backing those up, this chart from w3schools shows the same trend. I guess CERT's recommendation and a mature product are finally paying off for the Mozilla project. Less than 2 years ago, IE had a 95% lock on the market. Anyone else see a trend here?"
amazing. now pass the grits.
woo hoo! first post.
Firefox is a good browser, but does anyone know how to turn off those little pop-over messages, such as the "you don't have this plugin installed, click here to download it". I do not need flash or java, and I don't want the message.
Also, is there a way to move the gold lock (for secure sites) from the address bar down to the status bar like before?
Another thing that would be nice is if they returned the cool background graphic in the download manager.
Other than that, the base browser is excellent.
Oh wait, it's timothy. Move along, nothing to see here.
I've started using Firefox few months ago. I found it really cool. Then I learnt w3m. I've never used Firefox, anymore. go, text browsers! go!

Aargh! Sysadmin, where is that office CD you promised blind you had a copy of five minutes ago? Did it get lost in the move between offices?
i mean firefox....yeah...thats it.
Notice how /. will run story after story about Farenheit911, but is conveniently overlooking how the Bush national guard memos were forged on a word processor? You would think a nice nerdy debatable story about that would have appeared right away. There again, slashdot is part of moveon.org now.
