Ok the real reason that FF users are being charged more, is because it is open source. You can take it, and modify it anyway you want and do not have to pay. ALSO, FF users tend to use more open-source software whenever they can. That is a HUGE SAVINGS overall, and insurance companies want the money that you are saving from not spending it on software.
This is why corporations can get away with crap like this.
They just made 80 million, were fined 25 million by the government for their cut of ILL GOTTEN MONEY which ends up to be around 35% the federal tax rate for corporations/companies.
The victims, the customers, were not reimbursed any of the money which they were scammed out of..
I would switch 100% to Chrome... if it worked...
Anytime I click a link that opens the default browser (set to chrome), chrome opens up and shows an error dialog. Chrome will then not load any pages. You have to close Chrome, and reopen it with the desktop shortcut in order for it to work properly.

I am happy its gone!
I tried the plugin, and the plugin actually snoops around, downloading every website that is linked to the page you are on. It also caused browser freezing for a few seconds at a time.
Once uninstalled, everything was back to normal.
Comcast is doing this... I have a portable version of firefox running, and comcast hijacks pages not found, and redirects it to their search, instead of allowing me to use Google!
I buy games... But when there is so much DRM that it adversely affects my gaming experience.. I will download it, from rapidshare!
I love that these people are pulling the crapware out of games I pay for, and it makes for a more pleasurable gaming experience. Lesson: Stop putting crapware in your games, and you will have more people that will want to spend money as long as the game is worth it.
I have never had an issue with a downloaded game due to the removal of all the garbage. But, almost every game I buy first I have had at least one issue with.
I was actually about to buy a blackberry for the holidays and switch from a pay as you go phone provider to a contact provider.
However, do to this, I will not be choosing Verizon and I will not be purchasing a Blackberry.
Shame for them, because I make a lot of overseas calls (currently at 15 cents per minute from my phone, or 2.1 cents per minute from Skype)
I say try it for a month.. and show them it makes everyone less productive.. Also start arguments about people tapping their nails, having restless legs.. etc...
The problem is, it is under warranty from manufacturer defects.. It is not under warranty if it thrown against the wall. It is not under warranty if you decide to leave it in the rain. So, Smoke/Tar causes damage by the user.
I too, have voided warranties due to how disgusting a computer was, with the fans not working. Or with pet hair, tar, dust and other things mixed together blocking airflow, or covering a motherboard.
I wish people in America actually knew how to drive.
Get off the cell phone and drive... NO, texting can WAIT...
I was in an accident by a black woman, driving her friends car, while she was speeding and on her cell phone... She ran a red light - and hit me...
Officer arrived on scene and she received fault, she then claimed racial discrimination and the officer turned around and gave me fault... Like what the heck??
I am not racist at all, I even voted for Obama:-)
Well, my next car was going to be a Toyota Supra, but, alas, it will not be:-P
Anyone remember Ford doing this a while back? Are they using the same lawyer??
We are one step closer... I was disappointed with Oblivion because there were no children...
I was happy with the intro system in this game - but it is short. I beat it in 26 hours which the first 10 were me getting used to everything and checking out the scenery... So.. around 16 hours - kind of short, I need to go back a few saves and get all the side quests done..
I am also disappointed that you dont have the free-wander feel like you do in Oblivion... In downtown, you cant jump over some things and you feel the invisible wal..
As my title says, all you do is open another firefox window, drag the tab to the task bar (do not let go) hover over the other firefox window task and it will open up, then drop it on the tab bar:-)
Haha, the Recording Industry Association of America didn't read American laws!!!!

She had my vote before, but lost it now!
I am an adult, but if this filtering comes into play it will end up like Germany, where Soldier Of Fortune has ROBOTS in place of people, SPARKS in place of blood and so on....
Sorry Mrs. Clinton, your husband was awesome, but you just lost my vote due to this stunt!

I have never paid for porn... I have gotten it for free for doing a few favors for a production team though :-P
Dude, that is a desktop case, not a rack mount case.. Revise your article please..
Its called Fade - Codemasters already use it... but as DRM
So we do not have to register if we only want to invoke pain and terror on the citizens... SWEET.. safe until the next bill...
Im surprised no one posted this... But the phone guy promised the guy a free phone if he could break it... pay up?
But its 15 million spam links !!!
Due to this.. not do to this...
