FireFox Sets the World Ablaze
An anonymous reader submitted a story about Blake Ross and his involvement in the Firefox project. Just the latest in a steady stream of Firefox PR pieces, although with a more human take than just the 'Firefox is a good browser' stories.
Firefox is good.
Microsoft is bad.
Linux is really cool.
As long as it doesn't come from Red Hat.
We don't like George W.
We do like the space elevator.
And we, for one, welcome our new *fill in the blank* overlords.
OK, now can we go back to things that are interesting?
Eee.. I bet that guy's fired.

The fox is on FIRE! Haven't you seen the icon? That poor flaming canine is running around the world, setting it ablaze.
The Windows Market Place even has an article on Firefox. If IE was a woman, she'd be calling Firefox a slut for sure.

It's listed right there in the article:
It keeps setting stuff ablaze.
I tried it a few weeks ago, but had to stop almost immediately when my harddrive caught on fire, and melted right through the case.
Then the CPU exploded and the ram started smoking.
To its credit, though, Firefox is a pretty good browser. It worked for nearly an hour after that before my monitor melted.
Mod me down and I will become more powerful than you can possibly imagine!

MajorityNow - Surfs while your computer is idle to increase the browser usage stats for Firefox.
Should not be too hard to implement.
I know people who still use NS4.
I think it's time for an intervention.

At 19 I could barely figure out how to roll out of bed before 11:00AM, much less reinvent the concept of a web browser and start my own consulting company. I guess now that I'm 25, I'm doomed to watch teenagers innovate my career out from under me and die sad and alone.

Yes, three things:
Firefox is good.
Microsoft is bad.
Linux is really cool.
Yeah, it's too gosh-darn bad. Not that the Mozilla servers aren't going to start getting batshit insane from all the traffic anyway. Why not just completely do them in now?
(You will note that Spread Firefox is mostly down at the moment.)
*is run over by rotten tomatoes*
I know a number of people who have switched to FireFox because of word-of-mouth. Normal, every day, mac users.
Pretty Pictures!
I think it's time for a homicide...
I don't want one application running that uses as much RAM and processor as 5 seperate applications, when all I really want is a fast simple email client and a light, fast web browser.
Moz Suite is a bloated resource hog that should have been sent to the butcher's long ago. Regarding your suggestion about not using the mail client if you don't like it fine. Tell me how to get the stupid browser not to load the mail client when all I want is just a browser.
The combined beauty of Moz Suite is analogous to the combined beauty of peanut butter and a '57 chevy... sure some things can be smashed together, but why?

With my IE security settings set to High, and regular Windows Update patches, I have never caught a virus/trojan. Not one.
... I'll throw together a website that will turn your computer into a paper weight. Just make sure you hit it with IE. Thanks!
Oh okay. Give me a couple minutes
