Yep, I was on the look out for Bush2000 and the rest. They must be taking the night off (from FR).

I've been using Mozilla Firefox for about a month now and I love it! I got so sick of all the damn pop-ups on IE and none of the pop-up blockers did any good.

However, the growing use of Firefox means that the hackers will start looking for security holes in it.

They've been doing that for a long time now, since before Firefox itself existed. Mozilla/Firefox was has been pretty popular among the hacker community.

It compares favorably in every single department EXCEPT for proprietary Microsoft technologies

One more, IE is better at parsing bad code.

"Longhorn, wait until next year to get what others offer right now"

It appears that most of the features of Longhorn are available in Firefox and OS X already.

I wish FireFox would save the URLs of my open tabs like Opera does. There was a plug-in or something to do this but it was obsolete the last time I checked.

It already does it. Have all your tabs open, hit Ctrl-D to bookmark the page, and at the resulting dialog box make sure you check "Bookmark all tabs in a folder."

Foxfire is good, but I'm sick to death of this story. It is obvious that IE will continue to lose market share until it is rewritten from scratch and people have forgotten version 6. That will be several years at a minimum.

Replaying this story ad nauseum is simply Microsoft hating. I say, give it a rest.
