http://www.spreadfirefox.com/en-US/worldrecord/

join the world record! :P

this new version of FF is just kick ass... Been using it since Beta 2 and it is just an amazing improvement over the FF2 which was already WAY better than the competition.

[00zx2s/r]

liberia only has 10 pledges... they are the lowest I could find. lol. But idk if I will because I've never ben a fan of FF

[Beodude123]

When does it come out?

[gunman_sr5]

When does it come out?

x2

[TTFOWIA]

beginning of june as far as i remember

[DexterZX2]

I pledged and I added a link to my myspace page.

[chasingsafety]

beta is already out. If you get this, download the fasterfox plug-in. Makes load times much MUCH quicker

[DexterZX2]

I love my Firefox. When I first got it I was like, "F*ck Internet Explorer". Can't wait for 3 now.

[TTFOWIA]

fasterfox is crap. with ff3 its already fast enough. do not need that shit. unless you have a 56k loll

[capitalcrew]

Pledged. Can't wait. wewt.

[nike13857]

pledged as well. IE has nothing on Firefox.

[ZXTool]

Pledged... been looking forward to this for a while. Just been waiting for the official version to come out.

[Soadrocksever]

i kinda have to agree with this guy

http://brentroos.com/2007/05/28/install-internet-explorer-7-without-validation/#comment-32126

i mean im not knocking firefox, im just saying ie7 is a very capable browser, (esp based on avg user)

not to mention ive been using ie8 beta for a while now with NO problems

[TTFOWIA]

If you compare it to FF2, of course IE7 is a "very capable browser". just go try FF3, you'll shit bricks. It's just lightyears away from IE7.

[Soadrocksever]

in what ways?(i dont mean for this to sound sarcastic)

[ZXTool]

the main thing I like about Firefox is the speed. I always notice a significant delay when navigating with IE.

I hope FF3 didn't bog itself down.

[TTFOWIA]

mainly speed... memory use, bookmarks system, etc.

no way, FF3 is ULTRA fast compared to FF2

[Soadrocksever]

i have 11 sites that i frequent, that are in my links bar, that i use, and the favorites are in the list on the side, no diffrence there, and idk but ive never noticed any signifigance in speed, not enought to switch and have two applications that do the same thing, and if there are any sites that dont support firefox i dont have to open a new browser to view it.

not to mention i frequent a photography phorum, and when i open new tabs in firefox 2 when i control click the thumbnail, it opens the pic in a new tab, but when i release the control key it switchs to the new tab, and its set to not switch to the new tab when a new tab is opend, so i have no clue why it does that, and i looked in all the settings etc.

[TTFOWIA]

whatever, its your choice. but IE doesnt respect the standards... thats why FF is not "supported" on some sites... because they only support IE.

[CraZx2ing]

i stopped using IE when FF came out. Everytime i have to use IE i cringe. FF is just so much more... reliable.

[Soadrocksever]

wtf, all due respect to firefox, im not knocking it, i just think there is nothing wrong with ie

[ZXTool]

I do like IE too, there really isn't anything wrong with it. It has a nice look to it IMO.

[Spyware]

From a web designer's point of view, IE (All versions before IE8 ) are the enemy. With their lack of concern for web standards they create a HORRIBLE hassle for web designers trying to get their websites looking the same to all users. The fact that IE ships with a popular OS and is the default browser for them absolutely forces any web designer to code with it in mind. IE8 recognizes standards, yet still gives the users the options to turn these standards off. Get on key Microsoft... What's so wrong about following a couple rules that makes the jobs of thousands easier?

Also, FF3 benchmarks better (http://blogs.zdnet.com/hardware/?p=1470&page=2). =P

[Soadrocksever]

just out of curiosity, what standards are you talking about? and wasnt ie first(from what i know of)? so shouldnt what it uses be standard?

[TheGhostInTheMachine]

1. IE wasn't first.
2. http://www.w3.org/ <-- These guys are a consortium that handles web standards. Microsoft choices to ignore things and go about their own way even though the majority of the web agrees on set standards. Hence why developers hate IE.
3. Noob.

I for one am a developer and Microsoft can kiss my ass most days. They really have a way of screwing up shit that should work just fine, of course then you code it for IE and nothing else works. :biggun:

[Soadrocksever]

hahhaha thanks vit, i wasnt sure, but thanks, i stand corrected

and on a side note, i do hope that firefox comes out w/ a version for windows mobile, pocket ie SUCKS for sure

05-06, 17:34] Zx2 Frost Use IE
[05-06, 17:34] Zx2 Frost Firefox doesnt show it
[05-06, 17:25] blue_2001 HMMM
[05-06, 17:24] Griffin so ronery
[05-06, 17:14] blue_2001 how come my bold and glow username doens work
[05-06, 17:09] blue_2001 now that ue here everyone will want to talk and i wont be so bored

[Spyware]

Glow effects -n- such which only show up in IE are other forms and examples of how IE doesn't follow standards. =P

From a professional developer's standpoint, IE is like the kid in the class that causes everyone to miss out on recess. Because it's being selfish and not obeying the rules, all other browsers and developers have to suffer as well.

[Soadrocksever]

lol yall know im just messing with ayll now(although i still use ie hardcore, i just dont like the firefox interface, i dont think anything is wrong with the browser itself

[TTFOWIA]

so you are telling me you like the retarded interface of IE7?

[Soadrocksever]

retarted?? lol its classic, i grew up on it. the download box is way better imo, i dontl ike "manager style" interfaces. and idk i just prefer it. sorry.

[TTFOWIA]

he... IE7 interface is everything but classic... someone that thinks IE7 is classic must have started using computers last year...

[capitalcrew]

My main beef with IE is when I go to type in myspace.com I am also getting "my computer" "my documents" Etc.

That pisses me off. That started my hate, other things have built on it.

[Soadrocksever]

lol mine does no such thing.

man i wish Microsoft would make IE for linux. that would be the shit

[Spyware]

lol mine does no such thing.

MS won't make IE for Linux as it would support a direct rival. Wine might help you out through.

IE6 gets a gold rating
http://appdb.winehq.org/appview.php?versionId=469

While IE7 gets a garbage rating
http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=4195&iTestingId=4618

IE8 Beta 1 also gets a garbage rating
http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=11110&iTestingId=21852

At least you can use IE6 (The last half-decent IE) =P

[Soadrocksever]

hahahah i was just messing with ya on the ie for linux :-p

[TTFOWIA]

^^ I hope.. omg

[Soadrocksever]

im going to download firefox 3 release candate 2(i think thast what its called?) when iget home, blah and if its as much better as yall say it is, then w00t, if not. oh well back to ie

but yeah ill at least give it another try, ive had 2 installed for a while, but dont use it often, mosly for a few select add on's that no one has developed for ie

[TTFOWIA]

no doubt you will like FF3

[Soadrocksever]

so ive been using it.

and i stand corrected looking like a dumbass because i have noticed major improvements in speed of browsing.

things i dont like, but are probably little bugs, and some settings that arent tweaked yet.

when i first open it, and hit a bookmark/link on the toolbar it fails to load it, as if i didnt click it. so i have to click it again.

some pages look a TAD funky, but nothing worth crying over.

i have the newest realplayer, and it has a plugin for ie that isnt supported by firefox that places a tab over a video in youtube or any flv embedded player or i could rightclick said video and realplayer would download it, but i think it gave me a message when i installed ff3 that it WOULD be supported, just not right now.

umm, i think thats was the only things i didnt like all else was thumbs up.


oh and well this is just current, but lack of ff3 addon's and themes but im sure thatl be fixed w/ the offical release.

[TTFOWIA]

yeah... everything you said are just bugs that needs to be fixed. as for the "funky" look of some pages, just get the "IE TAB" extension. You'll be able to load some pages with the IE engine within FF. w00t

[capitalcrew]

Tehe. Another one converted. :cool:

[Fred]

Safari 3 ftw !

[TTFOWIA]

get lost. lol

[Fred]

But for real, I don't give a damn about browser, just hope they all follow whatever standards for web dev ... W3C, Microsoft's one, whatever, but please ALL FOLLOW THE SAME RULES PLEASE !

Tired of making multiple stylesheets ...

[Soadrocksever]

4 posts above yours :-)

[ZXTool]

wait so it comes out today? wut time?

From the look of it, around 1:00pm. I think their site is running slow for all of us geeks trying to get it asap. :lol:

[BlueZXTwo]

Yeah, i think there was what? 1.7 million pledges? And what about the ones that didn't pledge? That's a lot of people. I've got a feeling that their servers were not well enough prepared for this and they'll be down for quite awhile because of all the traffic. It's like a self-inflicted DoS attack.

Ha ha. Yep. I agree. :)

[TTFOWIA]

x2... wasn't able to download it yet...

[Sir William]

Imageshack toolbar doesn't work with it :(

I still like it so far and it IS faster

[TTFOWIA]

downloaded. after about 1h30 waiting for the server to respond lol

[gunman_sr5]

Gona take some getting use to. I like it so far though.

[ZXTool]

The only thing I didn't like was that it took me to the "release candidate" page after installation. Other than that, I like it so far. Still got to check out all the new features/tweaks.

I accidentally downloaded v2.0 the first time I tried even though the page said 3.0. The link wasn't updated when I refreshed the page the first time. ha ha.

[TTFOWIA]

yeah, they had a couple issues with the deployment lol... too many ppl on the servers, probably crashes, etc.

[Soadrocksever]

yeah, lame i still cant amnage to find the link.
:(( im gona download it on my work pc, and mine at home, every d/l counts.

[ilarson007]

I do like IE too, there really isn't anything wrong with it. It has a nice look to it IMO.

I have to say this: it's a web browser. Who cares what it looks like. As long as it works.

[ilarson007]

I also must say that I just updated and like it. The main reason I started using Firefox was because of the superb virus protection over IE, as well as popup blocking, and spyware stopping. (For example, I once loaded a page in both FF and IE and when I loaded it in IE I got a message from my virus program every 5 seconds saying it stopped a Trojan, and when I loaded it in FF [prior to loading in IE] these warnings never appeared, because FF stopped them before they were loaded to my comp). FF is safer and more secure than IE.

[JenzZx2]

I downloaded mine too...doesn't seem a whole lot different, but i haven't used it much yet either.

[Soadrocksever]

its a bit more stable than RC3, i like it overall.

i finaly got to download it

[TTFOWIA]

Ff Ftw :p
edit: wth is this crappy "auto de-capper" thing?

[ZXTool]

For those who need it...

Here is a link about turning off the "awesome bar" functionality in the event that you may some "embarassing" bookmarks or whatever. :lol:

[Beodude123]

Seems alright to me. It looks more like the new version of IE, which kinda makes me mad. Oh well... At least it still has all the "file, edit" etc tabs. I know you can add them in on IE, but it's just not cool.
