Firefox News Roundup
Spaceman40 sent in this ZDNet story. PeterPumpkin collects way too many links to Firefox stories: "According to SpreadFirefox.com , there were almost 3 million downloads of Firefox 1.0 in the 5 days since launch, which comes to over 500,000 downloads per day. There are news bites coming out about Firefox everywhere you could possibly imagine. According to a report on MozillaZine, Denmark's largest television channel, TV2, reported on the release of Mozilla Firefox 1.0. PC-WELT, the German equivalent of PC-World, is distributing their own customised version of Firefox to customers." Thomas Hawk writes "Rather than go outside for the past 48 hours, Scott Granneman prefers to burrow in his den and come up with one of the first definitive lists of Firefox links. Good geeking Scott. And way to overcompensate."
Fair and Balanced!
Oops sorry, wrong thread...

Scott, for your sake, I hope there's a 12-Step Program out there for you.
Ok, so mabye I do use Mozilla. But I thought I'de be the one to remind us of the abnoxiously user unfriendly 'surfing' tools we started out with.

Al-Jazeera: Mozilla's Firefox renews browser war
I have been a user for about 10 years. This ends Feb 2014. The site's been ruined. I'm off. Dice, FU
"Rather than go outside for the past 48 hours..."
Which is different from the average Slashdotters day how? Heck, last week I went 3 days without sunlight! God bless Aria Giovanni! Mmmkay!
I was actually going to RTFA, but after seeing a daunting 20 links or so, I decided not to.
So Firefox is a new browser??
Technology, the cause of and solution to all of life's problems.
Wow. Matt Drudge is a fellow Opera user? All of a sudden, I feel dirty.

Of course that is why he does not have popups on his website and he made sure to put a link up at Firefox's release (or Opera's) where his readers would have immediate access and not having to go to their computer after the radio show. Wait, he did not do those things? Glad he is adding to the cause when he can actually make a difference.
Firefox : tool of The Devil, it's right in the name!
goddamn I wish I could post this drek Anonymously...
the preceding comment is my own and in no way reflects the opinion of the Joint Chiefs of Staff
how the hell are we supposed to slashdot a site if the article has 15+ links in it?
Due to the recent broadcast by Al-Jazeera, the Bush administration has placed a ban on Mozilla code due to ties to terrorism, and urges people to stick with the more patriotic Internet Explorer by Microsoft.
I guess Firefox needs a spell checker... Um Yea. I don't see one installed. The number of posts of people like the parent there who are superior because of thir spelling ability usually drops when I am using OS X whose text areas boxes have red underline spell checking.
'Windows humanitarian aid worker Minesweeper has been taken hostage by the Firefox resistance organisation. They have issued a videotape in which Minesweeper pleads with President Gates to withdraw Internet Explorer from the occupied desktops. Firefox representatives say that unless Gates complies, Minesweeper will be executed.'
Real Daleks don't climb stairs - they level the building.

Screw the spellchecker! Let's just forward everything to you first! =)

Why would anyone pay for Opera when we have had lynx all this time for free?

Is this an article about Firefox?
Or Computer Geeks with Obsessive-Compulsive disorder?

These are my friends, See how they glisten. See this one shine, how he smiles in the light.
You grammar/spelling nazi!
I want to know when I can buy a copy of the NYT and see my name.
The day after your indictment, of course.

If you're $14,000 in debt you know full well you should be out flipping burgers, not posting to slashdot and pontificating about browsers.
You young people.
Yours Sincerely, Michael.
Don't be too hard on them. It's probably the only good feeling they get in their lives.

Oh, yeah, it's a huge problem. Earth shaking importance aside, it's a minor glitch. For anyone to get bent out of shape over such an insignificant problem (as compared to the other hundreds or thousands of firefox bugs being worked on) is kinda ridiculous. Remote crash exploits are big problems. Privacy intrusion is a big problem. Rendering Slashdot incorrectly (from 10-100% of the time, makes no difference) is kinda small in comparison.
Self-referential sigs are rarely entertaining.
:p
