Re: Firefox Is Heading Toward Trouble
From article:
First, I said Firefox is more secure. That doesn't mean it's perfectly secure. You still must practice safe Web surfing to avoid phishing...
Um, can this even be considered an insecurity?
To further confuse Windows users, the default installation of this 'patch' leaves you with entries for both the now-gone older version and the new one in Windows' Add or Remove Programs control panel.
It's a known bug that's been around since June of 2004 and it's still not been fixed. I am not amused.
I'm not amused at your stupid BS opinions.
Besides, this 'update' isn't really an update. It's a complete new installation of Firefox 1.0.1. Can you say annoying?
Can you say, go back to IE if it's that bad?
Forget about trying to get new and better versions out. They're not going to be able to keep up on security fixes and bugs. For example, it used to be that if you ran Firefox you never saw annoying pop-up ad windows.
That was then. This is now.
Today, instead of pop-ups, there are sites that feed you pop-unders: advertising windows that deploy under your current Web browser window, which you then see when you close your window.
It's annoying, it needs to be fixed
What the crap? I'm betting (even though I don't know from personal experience, just from what I've read) that IE has this same problem. At least Firefox by default comes with a popup blocker, unlike IE. Can you say, "I have to download at least 80 megs just to get a popup blocker produced by the maker of the browser?"
Article summary in a setence: Writer looking for publicity by controversy siting a handful of weak arguments as to why he sees Firefox's inevitable demise.

P.S. I apologize for this post in advance. I'm not normally this harsh in my posts, but this article kinda ticked me off at the author. Sure, Firefox isn't perfect, what program is? But to go and make the claims he's making riled me up. It seems that everyone hypes a product to unattainable proportions when it comes up and when it fails to be absolutely 100% perfect they tear it to shreds like no tomorrow.
