    Firefox is the worst browser I have ever used. I hate it. Nasty netscape clone derivative. Opera is the only browser that self-respecting people use. If I had the power, I'd write a virus that specifically hunts down all open source and free software ( as in speech and as in beer ) and deletes all the source, binaries, executables, and destroys the harboring computer.

      If you didnt sign as Bill you'd probably have +5 True by now. Firefox indeed sucks and its security record is a joke. 10 security issues a month means your browser is secure? What the fuck happened to your already subpar brains, firefox fanbois?

    The folks at Firefox fixed one bug and issued a "point point" release. Whoopie! Thanks for sharing! In other news, Firefox has gained .0054% market share in the last week. This is up from a gain of .00535% the week before. Real exciting.

  4. To all complaining about the "update", or lack of. by pyst-off · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    Automatic Updates... Why in hell would you want software to automatically update/uninstall/install on your pc? The act of allowing anybody or anything besides yourself to determine what changes are made to your computer is just ridiculous....

    But then again, everyone who is complaining wants it 'to be more like Windows Update'. MICROSOFT Windows Update? Oh... So you're running a Microsoft OS? That is just plain stupid.... If you're crazy enough to run a Microsoft OS, and then turn around complaining about Thunderbird and Firefox - then you should stick with Explorer and Outlook.

    Got so tired of downloading that piece of shit every other week, uninstall prior, install current, I quit even installing it on anything.
    Half the plugins have to be reworked each version or the program crashes.
    I've Winamp skins I downloaded ten years ago that still work with the current Winamp, however I can't install any skin I have for Firefox without waiting till the the next security update is available for Firefox before I go download and install the new skin.
    Firefox flatass sucks, always has and always will!
    I can't install it on anyones machine without feeling I have to warn them each time Mozilla pumps out a security update. So now I'm having to create a list of e-mail addresses and a life long commitment, simply becauase I recommended that piece of shit.
