Firefox was written on Netscape source code.

Despite that ample revenue, the Mozilla Foundation gave away less than $100,000 in grants (according to the audited statement), or $285,000 (according to Mozilla itself), in 2006. In the same year, it paid the corporation’s chief executive, Mitchell Baker, more than $500,000 in salary and benefits. (She is also chairwoman of the foundation.)

Sounds like the other thread I read today where Creflo $$$$ was living in luxury with his Rolls Royce being a modest preacher after raking in 69 mil$ from his mega church. Pretty nice to make that kind of cash from a non-profit organization, or as she prefers to call it a "hybrid" type entity. Very convenient.

Maybe with that "poor stepchild" salary she is pulling down, she can afford a hair stylist now.

Part of Firefox’s appeal was its origins as a nonprofit venture, a people-powered revolution involving the most basic Internet technology, the Web browser.

yeah the stupid red mozilla commie stuff. but Brendan Eich, head of mozilla, was never like that and wrote:

“Libeling freedom by associating it with its opposite is an old statist trick. Note that I’m no pure capital-L libertarian or “libertopian”: left without some kind of rule of law, too often the strong *do* prey on the weak. But the current mess of laws in the U.S. is mostly used to the advantage of the strong, and of the do-gooder Mandarin classes who pretend they’re for the weak.”

I pretty much run Firefox for most of my purposes. I found that Firefox 1.5 was very nice to use, but Firefox 2 is a disappointment.

I do like Firefox, I switched at Microsoft Explorer version 7 which totally sucked too bad I had to change.

But one annoying thing about Firefox, when downloading files for some reason it gives me no choice on which
folder to download it to and it only downloads directly on my desktop.

Which after downloading I have to manual move it to where I want it.

Images I can download to where ever I choose but anything else I have no choice.

Annoying but still better than IE

Firefox is the great little browser. Apple Safari has only recently gained a foothold on Windows. However, the only true cross platform browser remains Firefox. It looks and works the same across Mac, Windows and Linux platforms.

The thing that's amazing to me - about the browser wars - is that none of the browsers can get it right for people like me: people who browse full-screen.  It's continually been a one step forward, two steps back situation.

IE 6 did it best but had security issues.  The plug-in for full screen browsing on Firefox overrides the auto hide function of the Windows Start Bar.  And now, IE 7 does the same thing.....if you go into full screen using 7, the browser assumes you're using kiosk mode and won't pop up the Start Bar.

It's annoying that no one can made a decent, function-rich browser.

Firefox has a problem and had had for years. On some platforms it occasionally starts to eat 100% of the CPU. This is intermittent and random. I don’t have the problem on my own laptop but the desktop that my wife uses has it and I cannot figure out how to resolve it. Clean re-install, disable java, flash, etc. None of it fixes things. So Firefox is simply unusable for her. Search the net, it is not an uncommon problem but there is no definitive solution that I can find.

FireFox is the way to go. I have been using for years. Sometimes the script blocking prevents certain pages from loading properly, but one merely has to temporarily allow scripts from that page for it to work properly.

Even CrapCleaner has a special option to clean up for Firefox.
