Firefox Continues to Bite into IE Usage
InformationSage writes "According to Information Week, Firefox usage is now over 6 percent, pulling Internet Explorer usage down below 90 percent. 'Firefox is currently the only browser that is increasing market share on a monthly basis, and it is growing at the direct expense of Microsoft's Internet Explorer'"
Then it's only suitable that the first post should be with firefox.
It's 6 freaking perecent. It's not much. It's nothing to get excited about, nor is it news.
For someone that trys to portray himself as a good, christian person, you sure like to curse and abuse young children. and, i've been to the bookstore across the street and i know why they are doing so well. you failed to mention it was an adult bookstore.
You sir are a hypocrit christian, and diserve to be poor :P
I fucked your daughter for a choclate bar last night.
The point is that Mozilla is ignoring corporate users. Remember that corporations are a much bigger market than home users. Mozilla needs to concentrate on this.
There is no way either for that same Windows sysadmin to secure its corporate network. I guess that means we should just forget about security... or better: fire that stoopid babun, and hire somebody competent instead!
At my current job (at a university), I would love to put firefox in all the labs and deploy firefox to all of the faculty workstations, but I can't manage like I can with IE.
So you are admitting that you are a Windows sysadmin? Why don't you just quit, and work somewhere else. I've heard the Mc Donalds down the street is hiring...
Using group policies, I can set the home page for all users with a click of a button.
And with a small scoop, you can fill a small paper baggy with fries.
I can set security features for all users without leaving my desk.

Yes, and Mc Donalds is ignoring clumsy old ladies. So what is your point.

Mc Donalds need to serve their coffee less hot. Remember that when you start in your new job!
Imagine how much market share FF would have if it had 100% javascript compability with IE, or even client side VBScript capability.
When someone downloads FF and 5-10% of the sites they visit don't quite function properly, they're going to include a caveat every time they recommend the browser to others, and they're going to keep IE around just in case.
I hate to be negative, but when you want to take market share you should embrace the current status quo and then extend it... The standards jihad is getting in the way of the product being successful.
Amazing magic tricks
...That they may license the technology from either the Avant browser or the Maxthon "shell" for IE that will become part of Internet Explorer 7.0.
This could be especially bad news for Firefox if IE 7.0 incorporates MySoft Technology's Maxthon code. I've been running Maxthon for over a month (I started with Version 1.12.00 and recently updated to 1.2.00) and believe me, once you're used to Maxthon it's hard to go back to the "stripped down" Firefox. Not only does Maxthon have tabbed browsing, but also true mouse gestures and the very powerful AD Hunter function, which can block out many online ads that slow down the computer and/or install spyware/adware without your knowledge in addition to blocking out most pop-up ad windows.
What a bunch of fucking bullshit. Since the OS community can't do anything to legitimately increase their user base, they've resorted to LIES and FUD as a last resort. Here's to the next version of Cisco IOS banning all OSS packets wherever they originate from! Now, get off of Linus's COCK and get a FUCKING life!
