Firefox Beta Touts Advanced Engine, Solves 8 Flaws

nandemoari writes "Mozilla may be this year's winner in the 'browser battles' as they ready the next beta version of their tour-de-force, Firefox 3.1. Mozilla is resolving eight critical vulnerabilities found in the current version of Firefox — a move sure to garner applause from devoted Firefox users. As this year's crop of new browsers emerges, enhanced features are becoming secondary to one thing: speed. Mozilla is nearly ready to release the next beta version of Firefox 3.1 to the public for testing, and insiders predict that it will outpace even Safari 4, which has been the fastest browser in wide release since its beta began last week." It looks like they also will be upping the next major release to v3.5 to better show the significance of the release.

    Look, idiot, you just don't fucking get it, do you? I don't give a fuck how much money they make. I don't give a shit if they buy Bill Gate's mansion from him. I got a better browser out of the mix. The system works. So, stuff it.

    If "I get..." means "the system works", then the system works to the extent that I can experience the pleasure of raping your sister without consequence if I'm smarter than the average policebear.

    I'm guessing by your fapping for dishonest laissez faire that you're an Americunt, which means that - even if I"m foolish with the evidence - I'll be back in Europe before the authorities get an inkling of who I am. But I must be sure to kill your sister so I'm eligible for the death penalty, ensuring that an extradition request is automatically refused.

    I got a worry-free fuck out of the mix. The system works. Allahu ackbar!
