How come? I use Firefox everyday and Opera on my mobile. They always work I never have problems...

Yeah, well, their ideals don't amount to much in terms of stable, usable apps, now do they?

How can people continue to compare a browser download to a plug-in download? FFS!

I support Firefox because I think we need as many successful browsers out there, as possible, that aren't made by the Destroyers of the Web, Microsoft.

I believe Firefox to be important and it's a shame that there's a lot of geeks out there now creating a dumb Safari vs. Firefox discussion when, clearly, we just need an everyone vs. Internet Exploder movement to be as strong as possible.

As always, people who should be uniting to fight bad web browsers, bad standards implementations and corporate control over what should be free (and I don't mean gratis), are dividing into stupid little fan-boy groups.

Support Firefox and Safari and Opera and Camino and all the others. Support them, because we need their ideals.

I use VLC, even on the mini, for the dvdsimple:/// URL that skips right to the main feature.

"got downloaded less times a day than the Flash plugin" - surely that 12mil figure is largely automatic updates and such, which isn't exactly a fair comparison..

I agree with the fact "it's just a browser", and that Firefox has never been that good on OS X (thus Camino exists), but over 8million downloads is still a lot..
