    Kind of think thats a bit hypocritical to force FF down users throats when the message from FF was one of stopping MS force IE onto users?

    Dont think FEMA and the DHS will be impressed at the sly sneeky implication of them urging users to switch?


    More fool the sheep who fall for this money making scheme :rolleyes:

    Jeeze, it seems alittle harsh to me! Seems you have to download and install too much to benefit anyways. Explorer isn't so bad anyways. I really like K-meleon and use it most, then explorer. I am kind of excited to see explorer 7 out for use(besides the beta)
    Hmmm. maybie thats why FF wants people to switch now!! Maybie the new explorer is gonna kick its butt!!
    This would seem to be true if you think about the fact that if you are using FF already, how would you know if the new explorer is any good....tooo busy learning the new interesting FireFox browser to care.
    Competition....I suppose both want to Monopolize the internet expierience.
    I say keep your dollar and let people decide what they prefer. Now if it was about a fabulouse new OS, then I may be more curious....Did someone say monopoly?

    Can I play??:D

    How stupid and self defeating!

    Most people wouldn't bother swapping browsers, they just won't visit the site.



    Now it's getting personal. :)

    What a bunch of losers.:rolleyes:

    Personally, I don't care for firefox and uninstalled it long ago. I use Maxthon which runs off IE (for those that don't know). I don't get viruses or spyware because I'm cautious with my surfing habits, don't use P2P programs and always read EULA's from start to finish before installing anything. And of course, I use a fire wall and up to date AV.:)

    Yes agreed, I have been the same... I have FF installed but prefer the cleaner Flock or Opera, Opera have impressed me in not joining in these petty games and will silently gain support for what is a nicely rounded browers with some neat features!

    I would imagine that that site above, either wont last long or will change a little ;)

    I tried FireFox, and wasn't impressed by it either.

    I don't see what all the fuss is about.

    I prefer Opera, especially now it's free. It has all the features you could want, without having to install extensions. :)
