FireFox Sets the World Ablaze

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the hype-train-keeps-on-rolling dept.

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.

  2. Firefox problem -- can't click some links?! by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    Hopefully someone here can help; I've searched the web, but can't find any explanation of this problem, or a fix...

    There are certain links that I simply can't click in Firefox (running latest version, off a clean install). The most notable is the logout link in gmail. Clicking the link highlights it, but doesn't navigate to the logout screen/procedure. I'm forced to drag the link off the page, then back on in order to navigate to it. I've seen the issue on a few other sites, too...

    Any ideas?

    But does netcraft confirm it?

    Again, they could care less about the browser wars.

    Sorry, a bit off-topic, but I had to respond. Why does it seem everyone says that people "could care less"? If they could care less, then that implies they care. Shouldn't it be "couldn't care less"?

    It *should* be, but Americans have butchered the phrase to the degree that "could care less" is now accepted usage un the US, despite it being nonsensical.

    How is the GNAA dying? Our membership continues to grow, as does our prominence and notoriety. You fail to understand what trolling is and how it works.
