Desperate Firefox fanboys going for a campaign with a condom

Give up FF fanboys. You've had your day already. Now leave everything to Microsoft. Your day is over. :mad:

Very pathetic.... :(

The preferred abreviation for Firefox is FX.

As noted in the article, all vulnerabilities are patched in FX 1.0.3. :)

Would that M$ be so responsive. ;)

Anyone tried the Netscape 8 beta? I'm assuming it must be pretty similar to FF since they are both built around a Mozilla engine. But who would really use it? People are using FF to get away from the corporate world of Microsoft, why would they jump into bed with AOL/Time Warner.

I suppose it really boils down to to who ships it with their PC's. Dell, HP etc. won't pre-install FF but might bundle a new Netscape build.

(I've always abbreviated it to FF - does that conflict with anything else)

You mean like how the preferred abbreviation for "Premium Hamatachi" is "noaihmtch"? ;)

Yeah, the article is pretty clear about that. It's not that Firefox is significantly less vulnerable than IE, but that it's more proactive about addressing flaws before they become a problem.

How do I spell Firefox? How do I abbreviate it?

Firefox is spelled F-i-r-e-f-o-x - only the first letter capitalized (i.e. not FireFox, not Foxfire, FoxFire or whatever else a number of folk seem to think it to be called.) The preferred abbreviation is "Fx" or "fx".


Sorry, I was wrong. It's Fx, not FX. ;)

MS is notorious for letting huge security flaws in their products fester in the marketplace for long periods of time while they figure out how to patch it. Once they figure out a patch, then they announce the security flaw.

Mozilla/Firefox, and all open source software, proactively deals with potential flaws ahead of time, announcing them once a vulnerability is found, and promptly fixing them.

So, since Mozilla/Firefox is open, honest, and proactive about dealing with potential security flaws, and MS deliberately hides security flaws (letting them do as much damage as possible) until it suits MS to announce them, stupid articles like the one linked in this thread make it look like Firefox has big security problems, then idiot MS drones like noaihmtch get in a lather over it.

Firefox isn't perfect, and has never claimed to be. It's still vastly superior in the security department than IE.

Another reason, Hofmann said, is that Firefox doesn't use ActiveX technology, which he blamed for the preponderance of Microsoft's browser security woes.

"This is the major architectural advantage that we have," he said. "With the ActiveX and the security zone model, Microsoft has taken browsers in a different direction, which provides a mechanism for the most serious exploits in Internet Explorer."


One computer security expert called the security contest between Microsoft and Mozilla a toss-up, though he lauded Mozilla's responsiveness and Firefox's pop-up controls.


Yeah. Popups, spyware, and viruses rule. I think i'll be switching back to Microsoft IE and waiting another 6 months to pay for an upgrade to the latest Windows just to get a browser from 2003.

Hell, does M$ even have PLANS for tabbed browsing? Or is that a $30 upgrade??


Over/Under on when this guy gets a yellow card?

"Firefox security flaws" returned 606,000 matches. Considering its current extremely poor weak hopeless market share, it's totally unforgivable. Of course I don't belive all of the articles are related to Firefox as I searched them the same way you did which is absolutely incorrect. Learn to properly search on search engines before you devote your life and soul to Firefox and Linux. I know you are dreaming of utopia where no Microsoft applications are around and keep brainwashing yourself that non-Microsoft products are more stable and trustworthy which is by all means untrue. Just give it up for God's sake. I am telling you more you try, more you hurt & isolate yourself.

Microsoft rocks! I love you Mr. Gates! I love you Mr. Ballmer! :cool:

[noaihmtch]

Fixed your post. :)

Why should I get a red card? What do you mean by "another"? :confused: Is telling the truth about Firefox that bad? Are the Firefox fanboys all insecure like you? :confused:
