Today seems to be Mozilladot day. At least it beats having another Googledot day. Variety is nice.

For those of you who are going to start bitching about Firefox's alleged insecurity ("OMG! Firefox isn't as secure as everyone thought, so many vulnerabilities are being reported!"), here's 3 words for you:

No one cares.

  Hmmm...but FF *isn't* as secure as many people believed. The fansboys, for example, acted like it was bugless and totally secure (which no software is).
  
  I LIKE the way all of these problems are being found (and fixed). It means they're not there anymore. Provided the FF devs don't put too much fluff into future releases it'll also mean a better browser which is good for everybody.

(please understand this is a joke)

Of coure you were joking, Firefox is the most unstable piece of software I ever've used. It crashes at least five times per hour used, and most versions won't even compile without segfaulting the compiler.

Opera otoh is quite stable.

Hey fuckface, why are trying to compile Firefox. Let others with some actually skill do that for you.

I guess you compile Opera as well? Oh, that's right, it's a proprietary Windows binary only.

I would update, but I already switched to Opera when they made it free.
