Yeah... go on calling people out when you're not even intelligent enough to break down replies in a single thread.

People use FF b/c:
-Its more secure
-Its faster
-Better extensions
-easier customization

I like IE7 better just because it's within windows shell. I still have some memory issues with FF. Now if only IE7 has spellchecker addon, then I'll switch over.

I wanted to make it easy to follow for the R-tards. And I didn't blast anybody for using Firefox. I use it too. I was pointing out the irony of going to the effort to disguise it to look like the product that you so despise.

that's not irony. irony would be installing add-ons that implement IE7 behavior.

I didn't know FireFox had addons to make it crash, run active-x scripts, and report to Microsoft, all the while piling on spyware.

Firefox actually comes with one extension called Talkback which does exactly what you just said. It reports back information to Mozilla about program crashes.

Duh. But Microsoft = Evil, Mozilla = Good.

...Do we need to go over why people use FF and not IE again?

None of the things i said are absolutes.. its in general. I dont dislike IE at all, i just find FF to be better.

I like opera too, but it doesn't offer spell check :( Opera is faster than IE/FF on every machine i've seen all 3 installed on (10+)

No for crying out loud we don't. I use FF myself! I just think its funny how people go out of the way to download a theme to make it look like the other product most of them so despise.

maybe it's for those of us supporting family, installing it, then putting that skin on so people think they're still using IE since they're too afraid/stupid/etc of change.

I always wondered if the irony of that song is that some of the stuff isn't ironic and this was done on purpose to make the song ironic. Then I think I over thought that.
