It's open source so it will get fixed quickly post.

Marge, get me your address book, 4 beers, and my conversation hat.
Oh my God! I'm switching back to Internet Explorer right away!
I still feel safer than when I use IE.
I actually got an email from a friend of mine on the redmond campus warning me to be careful since I use that dangerous firefox browser about 3 hours ago. I told him I wouldn't believe it until I saw it on slashdot! :D
Your bank can and will ask you to confirm your password at random intervals via email.
If in doubt about who sent the email, click on the link they provide in the email to get to your bank's website to make sure it's them.
And remember, even banks sometimes forget to get their ssl certificates in order. No worries though, MS has been focusing on security for the last couple of years and IE is almost as solid as Firefox is....
That's why I use Firef... uhhh what???
Firefox 1.0.1? What the..?! Windows Update never mentioned a thing about that, must be broken!
One line blog. I hear that they're called Twitters now.
...slashdot doesn't display correctly in Firefox 1.0+

Nobody ever got fired for buying Microsoft.
Given that it's a free download, if you bought Internet Explorer, you *should* be fired.

Maybe if it had comments.....
