1. Firefox is not faster than any other web browser in any noticble way on any speed tests
2. Firefox is very hackable. There are dozens of malicious plugins and exploits. At one point a site could steal your password list with simple javascript.
3. Firefox is financed by Netscape and AOL. Both of those are the worst things to ever happen to technology.
4. Firefox is evil for its poor support of accessibility for the disabled.
5. Firefox has google advertisements and spyware
6. Firefox is not able to render every webpage correctly according to web standards
7. Firefox has a Furry for a mascot
8. Firefox is not written by idiots in India who wipe their asses with their hands
9. Firefox is open source, and that has no practical value for you.
10. Firefox has no active x security holes, it has its own security holes with its proprietary plugin architecture.

firefox is open source, but the source is so messy it doesn't do any good to you unless you're willing to spend 6 months reading it to figure out how to fix a bug that should be trivial to fix. also, because of the non-free license, once you fix the bug your bug fix is unusable to anyone else unless you release it under a non-free license too.

As of yet, Firefox doesn't support multi-touch gestures for MB/MBPs. I'll stick with Safari until that's implemented, kthx.

They're supported in 3.1. I'd take the beta of Firefox 3.1 over Safari any day, but then again I'm not using OS X.

Only complete tools give a damn. It's still open source, and the code you're writing is going to go into Firefox. What the fuck do you care if someone THEORETICALLY COULD copy it to use elsewhere? Either it would be entirely irrelevant outside of Firefox, or it's so simplistic that arguing about the license would be pedantic wankery and of no useful value to anyone.
Fucking Debianfags.
>>20
Are you saying OS X leaves the implementation of multiple finger taps to the client application? I was under the impression that it was handled similarly to how xorg does it, i.e. by assigning mouse "button" events to various things.

Ignorant faggots.
If you fix something in the firefox code yourself does not mean that it will be included in the fucking "master" firefox version.
It's free as in, you are free to do what you want as long as either:
1. You kept it all to yourself (no one will download your custom version faggot)
2. Some ex-Netscape/AOL idiot takes the time to approve it, which rarely ever happens.
The practical application of open source being a community support application is a fucking myth. The code changes in the main fork are still as tightly controlled as any closed source app.
Fucking idiot faggots.

Because a web browser allows you to open a hyperlink without having to look at the html source, copy the link's url and open a new instance of the browser with that url.

You're still gonna have to look at the html source, copy the link's url and look up it's copy in the working directory. IHBT

For personal reasons, I do not browse the web from my computer. (I also have not net connection much of the time.) To look at page I send mail to a demon which runs wget and mails the page back to me.
It is very efficient use of my time, but it is slow in real time.
>>42 rms still uses EMACS, too. it's hard to believe anyone would still be using that obsolete, non-free editor, now that the much more advanced vi is free.
thats why this warning pops up when I enter a active x site right? asking me if I want to activate it?

Over 2008:

Internet Explorer 7 over the same period has had 10.

HURR I WILL MENTION A SHORT TIME PERIOD WHERE MY FAVORITE BROWSER HAD LESS BUGS THEREBY PROVING THAT MY BROWSER IS BETTER, EVEN THOUGH IN THE LONG RUN MY PRODUCT IS SHITTIER BY FAR
Where 50 weeks is a short time period. And you area faggot.
One reason FireFox is superior is because it has these rapid fire incremental releases that really don't add much, fix much and end up braking a lot.
Wait, that sounds familiar. That was one major thing that killed Netscape. What are those guys doing now. You say they are developing Mozilla Fire... OH SHI...
