Mozilla's Goodger on Firefox's Future
An anonymous reader writes "The New Zealand Herald has an interview with Ben Goodger, lead engineer for Firefox at the Mozilla foundation. In it he describes how he got started, his reasons for Firefox's existence and what the future may hold for the little browser that could."
I hate to burst your bubble, but Firefox won't help. I've seen the same number of viruses and spyware attempts go through Firefox, only to be stopped by my anti-virus software. Firefox may have some nifty features, but I wouldn't call it any more secure than IE.
I don't respond to AC's.
i use mozilla over firefox because of the following: firefox is ULGY, even with all the themes out there, its still BIG and ugly, where mozilla is more compact mozilla loads faster, especially with 'stay in ram' option mozilla / mozilla mail has more options mozilla mail is better, more options and again not as UGLY and BIG looking. firefox looks too much like IE, it seems its been designed for n00b IE users, as apposed to mozilla's more streamlined appearance / usability. i dont like the look of 'firefox, my first browser... after ie' firefox download manager sucks, its just bad! the only things i dont like about mozilla are: chatzilla (its terriable!) and the fact that on much older computers, with low amounts of ram, it can be slow. in conclusion, firefox's core is good, and it may be good for people new to any other browser other than ie, but for heavy / more advanced use, mozilla is the way.
