Im waiting for the "A new version of Firefox is now available" Message which will no doubt appear at some point in the near future.

I made the mistake of installing the FF3 beta a while back and lost the few extensions I actually used. Hopefully by the time I get "notified" things like Del.icio.us will have FF3 extensions etc...

Annoying thing is they appear to have ditched all there search engine add ons.  Now there are only 23... there used to be thousands.  Good job I backed up my Firefox before I upgraded...

Which is fading fast, but the point being



Uh, no. In the we hate m$ club maybe. In business enviroments FF has maybe 1/50,000 users. FF is too sh*t to be anything more than a backup browser on the rare occasion when IE screws up. Its no better than IE 99% of the time for people who only use OWA or ebay or google and does nothing to justify the time spent installing/supporting a 2nd browser.




Sorry but this just screams of no clue ^


Id say hes right

There is no out of the box control for firefox in group policy, active directory domains being the most popular form of office group networking. Therefore it will never replace IE in business environments.

And - another thing - a lot of bespoke applications that the likes of call centres never run right in firefox. Yes they might be badly written, but that doesnt matter one damn.

No it doesnt.

It means a bunch of fanbois wanted to get firefox as a world record holder and decided to download it as many times as possible.

Even I downloaded it, but I dont use it except in cases where I come across a damn annoying "designed for firefox" sticker that really means "I am a twat, and cant code websites for sh*t, because I do not take account of cross-browser compatibility".

You really crack me up, of all you say about me,   :rofl:
To be an official record your above statement is NOT the case. Basically what you again think is wrong.

I am with Nige, i would like to see the designed for firefox sticker. I have seen the stupid IE only ones which says "I am a twat and can not code for web standards"
Making things up as you do is one thing but then taking what is and reversing it just to do your moaning is even worse, lol.

Admittedly the other day I had a forbidden planet newsletter/email sent to me and it said that if you were viewing the mail in firefox you needed to right click this banner and choose view image to see it at the proper size...

Thats the thing metal is being backwards, Yes IE has the market share but it does not mean its the best browser and its the worse off in terms of standards compliance and is terrable in the acid tests - Opera and FF Are way more compliant and better in the acid tests with 100% in version 2 and high 70s in version 3.
IE8 will have standards compliance but not as default, you will have to switch it from the silly IE 7/8  hybrid.
Mac is growing in its userbase as well and no IE for that, Saf, ff and Opera and camila work.
IE 5.5 even beats 6 and 7 in acid test 3 basically more standards compliance then both of those two so MS have gone backwards and again considering how important this is now in terms of rendering engines and how fast you can make your site load being standards compliance as well as how it is basically essential if you want good search engine responses and web traffic as well as the actual code and design benefits IE is utter sh*te in that respect.

Then I could go on about JavaScript and its use on modern sites in the form of ajax and the very good frameworks out there and IE in terms of safety over other browsers and how you have many with IE still turning off or having JavaScript off which basically kills a lot of the internet for them but do so to feel safe while FF and more over Opera are fine in this regard but then for extra you have things like no script but the new in built features of FF3 are dam good.

FF 3.1 is even better.

I ignored it at first but got to laugh about metal moaning about the downloads and what the downloads are followed by how he downloaded it but does not basically use it  :rofl:
