Of course we care, we read read slashdot, meaning we love this kind of stuff.. but really firefox is something special because it is well recognized and shows to non-tech people that there is something behind this open source thing and that quality software is being produced by these means. I have friends that have never heard of open office, gimp, etc. but they do know about firefox... the word is getting out there and opening doors for open source and showing that microsoft doesnt hold all the keys.
