Yes, all brilliant fucking ideas. "People need to constantly and continually educate those with less knowledge..." instead of "Fix the fucking problem at the source with a decent browser." Just what we need to inspire massive adoption of Firefox: More education. "With IE, I don't have to read a fucking manual, it just does what I want it to do, and if it doesn't I just go to Windows Update and install the patch to make it work right again." Why the hell would anybody want to take a class or read a manual on how to set up a bunch of geeky tech bullshit just so they can go to www.yahoo.com? You're not solving any problems either. Once again, the community completely misses the fucking point.
Like most open sores projects, Firefox may have some technical superiorities, but for the majority of users (currently almost 90% in the case of Firefox), there is absolutely no need to subject themselves to the difficulties of downloading and installing a new browser when it's very easy to continue using IE. What's that you say? Security updates? Also very easy. I just click on Windows Update and it installs all the patches for me lickety-split. If I need security patches for Firefox, I have to re-download and re-install the whole frickin' thing! Ludicrous!
Remind me again why I would ever want to fiddle around with this Firefox thing? Why is it that Firefox loads slower than IE and uses more memory while it's running? I thought it was lean and fast? Doesn't look that way to me. Why is it that some web sites don't look right with Firefox? Tabbed browsing? Who cares? It just takes up space that could be used to display a web page and has no other benefits that we have been able to easily determine so far.
All the hype around 1.0 and the newspaper ad and getfirefox.com stirred up too much interest too quickly. Now 10% of Internet users are using a flawed and inferior FF that fails to live up to most of its promises, and that is either going to put a major damper on the widespread adoption of any future version or the marketing efforts are going to have to be enormous for the next release and somebody's going to have to say "Well we realize the last one sucked but we've fixed our mistakes." Who is "we" anyway? I say the Mozilla folks have so far failed to produce a superior product. Maybe they should look outside of the former Netscape intern, over-eager Stanford student with rich parents crowd for developers, or maybe professional management would help.
