Firefox is totally radical
See that COOL lookin' Firefox button over on the left? It's the hot hit. If you're not using Firefox yet... shame on you. Why don't you go shop at Wal-Mart and club some baby seals while your at it! Geez.What's that you say? You don't even know what Firefox is? Well, in that case, let me explain it with the help of the Beatle's eternal classic, Yesterday:
Firefox,
All other browsers seem so unorthodox,
Because you work so well and never lock... up
Oh, I believe in Firefox
Suddenly,
I get half the pop-ups I used to see
Thanks to Firefox's increased security
Oh, Firefox is completely FREE
Why... do... you still use IE or Opera?
I... said... something stupid, now I long for Firefox!
Firefox,
Tabbed browsing is so easy to use
Now I need a place to hide some booze
With Firefox, you cannot lose
Why... do... you still use IE or Opera?
I... said... something stupid, now I long for Firefox!
Firefox,
Open source makes it really robust
Now I'm suffering from browser lust
Oh, Firefox is a total must... have
Mmm, mmm, mmm, mmm, mmm, mmmmmmm, mmm
Download it TODAY! Word to your mother.

Oh, Dan. That was worthy of a serious giggle. Thanks.
Glad you liked it! GO FIREFOX!
I still heart Safari. Am I in the stone age?
And yes, I am doing no work today. Only posting randomly on blogs.
No, you Mac fans can heart Safari all you want... it's the best thing Mac has to offer right now. If I had a Mac, I'd probably heart all over Safari.
I have the Mozilla browser. This is the same thing, isn't it? Well, I prefer to use Safari, but I go to Mozilla for a few things here and there when a site isn't programmed for Safari (like writing posts for Blogger). For whatever reason, I've never warmed up to Mozilla all the way. I get complete pop-up blocking with Safari, and I just like it better.
Well, Firefox is made by Mozilla, but the Firefox browser is light years better than the original Mozilla version. You should give it a try sometime... upgrade your old Mozilla version.
Okay, okay, so Firefox IS better...
But that doesn't mean I have to stop shopping at Wal Mart, does it? Or clubbing baby seals, for that matter...
I hear rumour that you can now get the full Google toolbar for Firefox. Is this true, or just a cruel hoax?
Shannon: keep clubbin' away!
Fyse: it's true. I have several search bars built into my Firefox. It's GRRRRRREAT!
I heart Safari too, though I do have Firefox installed here for... some reason. I just can't seem to remember why I have it here. Hmm. I think it has something to do with a laundry basket in my foyer. I just can't remember.
Where'd Benzo go?
Man oh man, this is turning into a Safari love-fest!
Kerrie: watch out for that laundry basket... old people tend to trip over them.
Whitty: Benzo is on vacation, but you can always visit him in the R.A.Q. section.
Do you have a "Heart On" for Firefox? Ha ha. Heart on. Get it?
The thing I love about Firefox is the way you can configure it to search. Eg regardless of what page I am on, I can type in "di ersatz" and it will do a Dictionary.com search for the word "ersatz". You can configure this for most searchable sites, including Google. This page tells you how - http://kb.mozillazine.org/index.phtml?title=Firefox_:_Tips_:_Quick_searches
I think firefox is what is on Joel's work computer. Yay! We joined the bandwagon. Well, he did, not me.
That was a good link, whittler. I've now got all the search engines I could ever want set up for ridiculously easy access.
Dan, I couldn't find a version of the full Google toolbar for Firefox. I know there's the simple version in the top corner, but I miss all the additional features like the highlight, image search and blog-this buttons. Ah well, I'm still definitely better of with Firefox.
Fyse: they had it for all the previous versions. Wait about a week or so and check back on the extensions page. The developers will need to make it compatible with v1.0.
Did you get paid for that?
Actually, Firefox should pay you for that, it should be their jingle.
That one was por gratis.
