    Mozilla Firefox is a very high end ultimate browser meant for people with intellect and “to be different” attitude. This browsers capabilities are endless with its vast database of add-ons, themes etc… I personally want recommend mozilla to every one on Internet because of its robustness, user friendliness, endless features, stability, great tabbed browsing which prevent from hassle of managing many windows at a time. This is One window many tabs browsing. Add-on features list is endless to mention each here but surely the overall experience is awesome. Ucan even restore tabs which have been closed by mistake by pressing ctrl+shift+t. This is the future of Internet browsing.
    Glory to Mozilla………

  13. Dylan West Says:

    Well, I am a frequent Youtuber. One day I went to Youtube, on a certain browser whos initials are IE, and the videos stopped showing up. I checked to see if Adobe Flash and Java were up to date, and they were. I just didn’t get it! My brother used Firefox on his computer, so I decided to check it out. Now videos from any site work perfectly. I even recommended to a friend who had the same problem. In the process, I converted my whole family to use Firefox. I don’t know if they like it better, but it just makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside to see them use it. I also use Thunderbird and love it just the same.
    Long live Mozilla!

  14. Kenur Talsania Says:

    well, i started using the firefox when it came out first and it was not known that much. i loved their other icon and logo for the browser.. i am using firefox in daily use and it is my primary browser since last 3 and half years now. I work as Instructional Technology Specialist at a University. when i started working here, people were not using the firefox as much compared to Internet explorer. i started promoting the firefox and made people realize that we have an option! now, when i go to any lab i see students using firefox. i belive that firefox is a good browser and its so easy to customizable. and its open source. keep it up mozilla foundation.

  15. yasser Says:

    i love mozilla

  16. Ira Newman Says:

    Firefox is the best browser available today. Besides having much better security than Internet Explorer, the add-ons and additions leave IE in the dust. With Firefox, surfing the Web is an enjoyable experience rather than an exercise in frustration and anxiety. Please Mozilla, keep up the good work!

  17. Chad Heese Says:

    I stated using the early Beta’s versions. It was faster, smaller and more secure than IE. I worked at the help desk for a company that dealt with people trying to login to a secure banking site. I would receive calls constantly with people having SSL problems with IE. I would have them download firefox and use it to access our secure site. Worked everytime…

  18. Abhishek Ramani Says:

    hi folks,

    I am sure many of us have passed through a time when because of the monopoly of a certain software giant the only browser the common man KNEW about was IE !!!

    So blindly everyone used this product despite its several defects and the zillion bugs which make it a literal treasure trove even to the most amateur hacker !!!

    then came along one little known browser called “zilla -something” as i remember one of my friend putting it a few years back with a funny named engine called “gecko” :)

    and boy oh boy !!! did it storm the internet world !!!

    Every single feature of this browser seemed to be just perfect , completely intuitive and tailored to every users expectations !!!

    Tabbed browsing , RSS feeds , The plethora of addons at the mycroft website and innumerable plugins have enhanced the user friendly aspect of this browser all the more !!!

    My favorite part of mozilla apart from its regular features is the ease with which i can pick and choose from the million search engine plugins, each one of which is custom made for a specific use.

    Long live open source !!! Long live Mozilla !!!

    Regards,
    Abhishek.

    i discovered Firefox by sheer luck. i had IE on my PC and one day when i wanted to surf net, the blue monster didnot respond. I called a PC repair guy who said: Why dont u use Firefox?
    So he installed Firefox, and from the Day1 i started loving it.It was much faster,safer and adaptable to my needs.Rest is history as they say.THUMBS UP for the Mozilla Team!!!

  28. adam sylla Says:

    hi , excuse my english :D
    ive been using Internet explorer for the past 10 years , i try new browsers but IE was my favorite , sure Firefox version 1 has many Features like plugins , proxys …it was my second choice , until last mout when i hade a critical problem with IE so ive decided to download firefox , ive been surprised to find out that vesion 2 is alredy out , after instalation connexion is ok unlike IE , ohh the new modern skin and the tab navigation very useful also the integrated download manager , this downloader is more best than the windows one but cant replace “internet download manager” who split files for max speed , also the way that Firefox get codecs and players is amazing no more googling , firefox detect what are you needing for and download it instanly very cool feature , and me prefered is the drag and drop , yeah you can drag and drop in Firefox , drag and drop links images to your tab to create an new tab from , i think its faster than a right mouse command or CTL + command , sure i cant talk about all Firefox features even in 1000 pages but only those features make me prefer this browser than any one , Good job Firefox team .

  30. MasterCJ Says:

    I’m using Firefox to view this web page, type this message and browse all my other sites, all in one window. Name another browser that can do that without falling over itself every two minutes. I am going to purchase a shirt or two and a hat (if they come in a fitted style). I’m pretty certain everyone I know uses Firefox happily (we’re all pretty technically minded). Thank you to the team and community behind Firefox, keep it up, you’re putting out some great product here.

    I’ve been using Moziila Firefox for several years now. Started on a tip from a friend from a computer geeek pal eho worked for Microsoft, if you can believe it. I ran into a friend at a softball game last year who had a Firefox hat. Traded him for a White Sox hat. Never wanted to trade it back, & don’t plan to. Mozilla is great, & Firefox is not only the best browser, but everyone likes the cute mascot. I’m staying right here. Thank you, Mozilla!

    Sincerely,

  35. Nooruddin A K Says:

    hi,
    I am on the net for at least 4 hour a day for my work. i was unhappy with internet explorer and always felt that there was something still missing on this net browser . quite often i tried to download some tweaks to make it a little better and faster.

    Than once say a year ago i came across FIREFOX browser and it had all the things that i need . a spell checker, password remember, filling forms and the best thing it downloads and que’ss them .
    the speed of browsing was quite good and the navigation between folder is the best feature which the new ie has copied.

    i truly feel this is the best browser.

    designing web based applications is hard enough. But having to design them for every browser, and then re-designing them for Explorer is a pain the neck. Now we program and deploy our web based applications to specifically work with firefox. Then it is just a matter of downloading and installing firefox on the users system and whaa-laa .. problems solved. Man is life easy

  40. Mike Bomberger Says:

    thankx a lot to mozilla team.

  42. Mark MacCollin Says:

    Firefox changed my life. It made the internet so much more enjoyable, that I had a USB port installed in my head. Now, even when I’m sleeping, I can surf the web and download stuff directly into my cerebral cortex, without having to worry about pesky spyware, or prefrontal lobe events.

    I also enjoy Firefox Gear. The t-shirts and hats are total chick magnets! I lost my virginity and moved out of my grandmother’s basement, because the special fibers in the Firefox clothing line made “that certain part of the male body” bigger! Thank you Firefox!

  43. moemen Says:

    I.. don’t see how those are ‘total chick magnets’ or even sell-able at all but there you go

  46. Rodiguez Says:

    Since I used Mozilla Firefox, I haven’t had to see any pop-ups windows any more while my friends, about 2 years ago, were almost crazy about unwanted windows that appear every time they used internet explore. You don’t know how happy they were after knowing about Firefox…. Thanks to the Firefox crew for the amazing work you guys have done.

  47. Dorothy Says:

    I must say that Fire fox is the most efficient web browser, its features are the best.

    Fire fox is faster and safer way of communication.

    Thunderbird is just as good. I can’t believe I ever used the totally worthless IE. Keep up the awesome work mozilla.

  48. Phillip Burns Says:

    I ordered myself a cool FF shirt not only does it look cool it helps you guys continue what your doing. I back you guys everyday! I cannot imagine a world without FF. I used to be a slave to IE and found FF by chance one day on Vampirefreaks.com! Ive been pimpin it like a pro. Every computer that i work on leaves my house with firefox on it and i use it everyday. All my friends do too. We love open source stuff and continue to support it. LOVE YOU GUYS :)

    if you actually wanted to sell these clothes why dont yo actually get some half decent models to model them, who would want to wear any of these clothes now you’ve seen how nerdy and sad you can look?

    but Firefox is still a dam good program, maybe just improve the clothes marketing…

  51. Sufyan Jamleh Says:

    I like FIREFOX because it is faster and has more security and make you feel relax with a nice colors :) and I like the download way in this explorer, in addition to that I like open source community and it is good way to develop the world and a good way that let you think more open :) in addition I don’t like MICROSOFT they are such a lairs and they want to establish a “NEXT” generation who are they lazy people and they are depending totally on others, I like you and I want the gift :) I like to wear your FIREFOX T-shirt and I pleased to get it :) please I’m thirsty to that T-shirt because we don’t have it in my country :) please

  52. dimitry Says:

    i used to use IE until my friend showed me firefox years ago.i dont even want to touch IE my dad uses it and im still convincing him to just get firefox and ou wont have to worry about pop-ups but thank god for mozilla firefox and not to mention firebug its helped me accomplish some things ;] and i just wanted to say thanks for an awesome free web browser

  53. Robert Says:

    Well, I am an accountant. I am all over the web too. I always used IE.. what a dog, slow, feeble, and crashes ever 2 and 1/4 minutes.. Reinstalled it about a half a dozen times and it still falls all over it’s self.. I tried Netscape, and it is alot better, but what a resource hog… I have a good system, but with my accounting software and about 10 different apps running at once, It was just a bit much.. Then one day I was clicking all over the net, on the clock…of course, and poof…. Firefox.. downloaded it, and have since installed it on 30 systems at the company I work for. It is fast, clean, and simple to use..

  54. virgoptrex Says:

    I simply love Firefox from my heart and hate Internet Explorer to the core. The best feature regarding Firefox is it restores session on hang up from third party software. IE simply freezes (Its the same case with freshly installed XP or Vista). It should be labeled Internet Freezer rather than Internet Explorer. Thankfully we have a great alternative with the best internet browsing experience - Firefox!!!

  55. Dextrone Says:

    When I started using Firefox I was amazed at how smoothly it ran, several months later…..

    I used IE on my computer {to try out IE 7} and I still couldn’t imagine it still went so weirdly. It takes 3-4 sec. just to start up. I click, I hear a noise, 2 seconds later something shows up……….4 seconds later most of the formatting shows up, BUT wheres the images and text?! After, 5-6 sec. it finally came up. And I thought I was on a 11mbit cable connection{from my experience it’s very reliable and have loved it from years ago, and is still the same, from cablevision}. It’s like that Pringles slogan “once you pop you can’t stop”, in this case it’d be “once you switch, you’d be terrified to go back”.

    P.S. Downloads are also inefficient on IE.

    The people that use IE are still stuck in “M$ is great” syndrome.

    IE is like those HORRIBLE pair of earphones that come with the iPod, everyone likes the company for the UI and design, and accepts every major fault along with it.

  56. Geoff Says:

    so this is a true story, believe it or not.

    I work with a company that ensures their systems are up to date, and uses the quote “latest technology” so, the IT guys came around and loaded everyone up with the new IE7. Not that IE6 is any better, but…

    We can’t download add-ons to our systems (legally) so i stuck with IE7. On a lunch, i visited the mozilla/firefox page, (because that’s what i use at home) to look for some new extensions.

    One of the IT guys walking by to check on a nearby cube’s connection, stops and says “hey, you can’t download that!” I agreed with him, and said “i’m not downloading it, unfortunately, this company doesn’t want the best for it’s clients”

    He smirked and walked away. The next day when i logged onto my computer, Internet explorer was no longer the default browser, but Firefox was. I asked my neighbors and they looked at me like i was crazy and said “duh, yea, firefox. Why would we use anything else?!”

    I laughed and went about my day jubilee, now that our company finally switched to firefox.

    I’m a web developer and designer, and i swear by firefox.

    Thanks guys, keep up the good work!

    I live in the country and all i can get is dial up and i used to use internet explorer and not only was it so slow i couldent use it but every time i did i would get bombarded with what seemed a meteor shower of pop ups and viruses ultimately puting my surfing to a halt … this all changed when i was doing some research and found Mozilla Firefox now i browse at least 2 times faster and with out those annoying pop ups and viruses
    i recommend Firefox to all my friends and to everyone who doesn’t use it thank you guys i can finally use the internet without taking 20 minuets to load a page.

  59. Erik Hammel Says:

    Recently I went on a hike up the Catskills with some friends of mine. When they noticed my Firefox messenger bag that I used to carry my drinks, they asked what the fox on the logo symbolized. I thought for a second and then replied that the fox represented a new way to browse the internet. Thanks for the great web browser, best out there by far.

  64. Emmanuel Valerio Says:

    well i started to use firefox almost 2 years ago, and the reason why i started to use it was becouse i was having some trouble with IE and then i saw and add about firefox at a software website. After i read it, everything looked really great so i download it and never though that i was going to keep using it, firefox has been my only and main browser since then! specially now that i can use it to listen to music while im browsing the internet, and the best thing of all is that im able to see the weather and download my favorites internet video without having to wait more than 1 minute, also fire fox has helped me out a lot by making its browser more secure wich means that i dont have to that much about getting any viruses while im reading my emails etc..

    thanks to all fire fox creators.

  65. Emmanuel Valerio Says:

    i even carry firefox and all my bookmarks on my u3 flash drive, i never leave it behind even that im not using my pc!

  66. Hansen Dsouza Says:

    Fast….very easy to download…really light on system resources…and very stable..not prone to virus attacks…overall the best browser out there…thank you mozilla for improving the internet experience.. :>)

  67. abhiram Says:

    i don’t really have any mozilla gear with me
    But anyways I am really happy about writing about
    my firefox experience

    Internet Explorer,Netscape were the only browsers
    i had used till 2003.Luckily i borrowed a magazine cd
    from my friend that was when i first heard about
    Firefox.I think it was feb 2004 and it was the
    beta version .82 if i remember it correctly.

    My first experience with firefox was great the pages
    loaded really fast and i loved it
    and i have been using it since then.

    Now things have changed so much that the same friends
    who were reluctant to shift to firefox before were using it.

    I have read some really good articles in ordinary news papers
    persuading to use firefox.

    WOW 3 years and look where it is

    Awesome work …

    Sadly though this also reminds me of Open office
    I started using it at roughly the same time as
    firefox.I wish it will be as successfull as firefox
    same goes for gimp too i love it.

  68. Clint Says:

    Yeah.. so I’m running cross country with my new Mozilla Track Jacket on.. and i come across these totally hot chicks.. next thing i know is the entire Cheerleading squad attacks me for my clothes, and I have to run to my car naked.. I guess I’ll have to order some more stuff from the Mozilla Store since they shredded the beautiful jacket fighting over it! Now I carry pepper spray and cans of AXE body spray to trow out as counter measures!!

    Yeah Sandeep

    i support you in saying to the gr8 Mozilla Team:

  73. Justin Gatewood Says:

    I work at our local college, and I manage all of the websites and web servers.

    I recently completed a complete re-design of the Athletics website for the college, and was very excited to show it to everyone. I went into one computer lab (with about 20 iMacs setup, and everyone was browsing with Apple’s Safari browser). I showed them the site, but it was not displaying properly in Safari!!! The columns were all messed up in Safari, and the site was virtually un-browsable due to this problem. I checked with w3c.org, and my code validated correctly, so I suggested all of the Mac users download Firefox and try that.

    IT WORKED GREAT!

    What started out to be a disastrous reveal of a new website turned into a fantastic moment of pride and accomplishment! Firefox rendered the page and CSS with no errors, and resulted in a cheer from the students who liked the new site. At this point, all of the Macs on our campus have stopped using the Safari browser all together, and they ALL use Firefox! In addition, out of over 3 million hits to our website this past year, my ‘evangelizing’ of the Firefox browser around the campus has resulted in a nearly 10 percent increase of hits from Firefox browsers (IE is going down!….YEAH!)

    Thank you for creating such a wonderful browser, and keep up the good work!

  74. Gloria Anderson Says:

    Not only is Mozilla fun and fast and efficient, it solved a lot of my problems when I started using Helium — the site where writers go to submit original work. They were having a problem with lines repeating themselves in the “Community” area of the site. Someone suggested downloading Mozilla Firefox, so I did. Just like that, the problem was solved!! It was easy to download and install. It mostly did everything by itself.

    Mozilla is really fast and smooth. I’m impressed with it. Now to look through the Mozilla merchandise… hmmm!

    OK Here is my part of story, i came across mozilla about 2 yrs. ago. before that i was using IE and netscape. the problem with IE was it gives notifications for so many activex downloads and as a basic user sometimes you get tempted to allow them and i did that once and got some kinda spyware on my computer and it got crashed, so i had to set up system again and after that started using netscape for sometime. but problem with netscape again its hard to find all the add-ons that you require and its not that user friendly. then finally started using mozilla as another alternative and have been using it from more than 2 yrs now but no complain at all. actually they are getting better n better all the time. specially i like the add-on feature on my browser itself. and that some are like fire ftp, download helper, and yes how could i forget the adblock plus i think thats one of the best feature that firefix has to offer.

    Keep up the good work team..

    Hi all,
    I like to share my story with ThunderBird. I heard about thunderbird from one of my friend who forward a mail to me saying that This is the world best Email Client even though it is completly FREE.

    I cannot believe this and i just make that mail a SPAM.
    I believe in my Outlook 2003 and think that that is a perfect performer.

    But one fine day i found that my Outlook sucks when i deal with a lot of mails. It simply took a lot of time for every action i made.

    The ni thought to install and compare the results with some other free mail clients(This is one of the lucky moments in my life). I search in google for free email clients and fibally get into Thunderbird home.

    I download the thunderbird ( A VERY SMALL FILE). And this will not ask your hell lof information.

    Installed ( Very Quick), It automatically import all my account settings, addressbook to Thunderbird. More interestingly my Hell lot of mails to Thunderbird ( Instantly).

    I am a software programmer and this time i really want to appreciate the programmer tea who worked to make this dream a reality. ALL FOR FREE..

    I cannot believe.

    And finally, i tried to send mails and arrange my foders, Its quick and make my mouth open with surprises.

    Oh!! windows, how come you people cannot do all these things with Outlook???

    Here is the moment i need to give a big three cheers to all Mozilla team and Thunderbird.

    Long love Mozilla, I will give my all support as a support programmer in your all open source programs.

    Thanks
    Fremy

    I have used Firefox for over three years now and have yet to get a virus. That is without Norton, Mcafee,or any other virus program. Maybe I’m just lucky,but before I installed Firefox I would constantly get viruses. I told a friend about it and he said his Norton was about to expire and he was tired of paying to renew it. So he installed Firefox and also has no problems.
    And the best part is it’s FREE!!!!!!!

  86. Chris Says:

    Hey!

    For the last 2 1/2 years I have used almost nothing but mozilla firefox, and for my website (and many I”ve worked on) I have made sure it was firefox compatible.

    I first came across firefox but accident, looking for a diffrent web browser due to having IE crash all the time.
    and since, I haven’t turned back.

    Thanks for such a great, user-friendly web borwser!

  88. Febil Chacko Says:

    I just go through all other browsers from the last 3 years. From that experience i can boldly say that it’s cool. I can submit several reasons for its extraordinary character. My First experience with firefox was great the pages loaded really fast with user friendly colors and I loved it and I have been using it since then. I can use it to listen to music while I am browsing the internet, and the best thing of all is that I am able to see the weather and download my favorite’s internet videos. Restoring tabs after system return from hang condition is great. I believe that, the Open source nature and its good support will help to stay it pioneer in the market. So I suggested all of my friends to download Firefox and try it. I really loves ur shirts also. Can i get one . Thank you to the team and community behind Firefox, keep it up, you’re putting out some great product here.

    my friends and i love using Firefox but we were forced to use IE at school, and hated it. last year we spent a good part of first semester trying to find a way to install Firefox the the school computers, mainly so we would have our tabs while we used the internet. finally my one friend figured it out. if u save mozzila firefox from portable aps to one’s user folder and and go through a couple of back doors you are a proud owner of firefox any time u want to browse the internet at school. we no longer are forced to use a crummy outdated version of IE

    I have been using Firefox for the past 3years.I find it very realiable & easy to use.I worked as a lecturer in an Engineering college and introduced them to use Firefox and soon in lab each PC had Mozilla firefox in it. I personally find it more handier to use than IE becoz it elimates many proxy. I love their logo & that T-Shirt made me look more attractive . Thanks to the team & community behind Firefox. Cheers!!

  94. Hannah Says:

    I recommend Firefox to everyone! I’ve had Firefox since it came out and rave about the skins, tools, add-ons, and security features Mozilla boasts, for free! Keep up the good work, and I’ll keep sending new users your way.

    *ps Also works excellent with vista!! Better than ie.

  95. Robert Reynolds Says:

    OMG! This is monumental! We need to like make a major change to our current calendering system to recognize such an event as Firefox. like we have B.C. and A.D. now; we need to add: A.D.B.F.F. (A.D. Before Firefox) and A.D.A.F.F. (A.D. After Firefox). Not that I’m insinuating FF is identically equal to the events that lead up to B.C & A.D., but I do believe that MS IE is the spawn of a satanic programmer >;) IE drives me absolutely bonkers, I have uninstalled it on every PC in the house. I preach to the tech dept at work every time IE crashes on me to. I LOVE YOU GUYS, and would wear lotsa shirts but I require XXX-L. But the Trucker Hat rocks!!!!!

  96. Martin Kwok Says:

    6 years ago, when I had started to use the internet as my searching tools. I choose Internet Explorer as my best searching tools, because it has a lesser chance of screwing up than Nescape. Althought some times I had found it was annonying when it force you to close all of the Internet Explorer windows that you are looking at. Mostly it happened when I was working my school work, Some times it happened when I was playing online games. One time, Internet Explorer had even made me wanted to give up using internet for the rest of my life, because I had researched so many information on many site that was opened on my screen. And all of a sudden, it saids that there is a bug. All of my data were gone like a gust of wind. Because I was using a public computer, there is no way I can look back to the history due to the security they had made in the computer.
    I notice Internet Explorer is not a good program to get online. But I couldn’t find a better program that can represent it. Until 1-2 year ago, I had find an internet program call Firefox. In the beginning I though Firfox will need to exprence a time before it can be better than Internet Explorer. But in fact I had found that Firefox seems to have a better adventage than internet explorer. Firefox had not closed any of my research. I guess it is because there is no bugs at all. Tabs was one of the biggest reason I love Firefox. It give me an impression of that it won’t screw due to the problem of too many windows will screw the computer up. Although Internet Explorer had tried to copy rhe idea of tabs afterward, I had found my computer still always hang up, once I had tested using it.
    I had heard many people telling the story of Firefox is no better than Internet. But in fact I had found Firefox is a excellent Internet program to me.
    For downloading files, I had trouble downloading large files in the Internet Explorer. Because Internet Explorer has the timeout function on it program, even if it was 99% completed it can still stop your download of a document when the program felt that it need a break. But for Firefox I had found out that the connection of the downoad can but not cut off. Enven if the connection was cut off there is always a pause and continue to make it keep downloading.
    Thanks to the team and the community that give birth to the Firefox.
    I love not just the service of Firefox, I also love the logo. I am looking Foward to have the Firefox T-shirt for the purpose of telling and showing this fact to my friends and other people arund me, that I love Firefox
    Thank you, Mozilla!

    Hi all,
    First of all, let me tell you that I am a old fan of firefox(main reason is I hated microsoft for so many reasons), I am almost using firefox for almost 6 years now and I can say I am one of the best promoters of mozilla. lolzz lemme tell ya why, I worked as a technical support associate for Earthlink and right now I am working for AT&T and my job is to troubleshoot the the customer’s connection problems to the internet. And most of the users use windows and their default browser would be freakin IE and most of them end up sayin I am connected but unable to browse the internet. I almost take 35-40 calls a day and aleast4-5 users encounter problems with the browser. And the immediate solution is Mozilla Firefox. Its fast easy and simple. This mantra always worked and most of them loved it (except a few who love only junk like IE). And when microsoft introduced IE7.0, I bet I might have made atleast 1000 customers download mozilla and use it. They liked the tabbed concept of browsing. Because It is simpler than the rest of the browsers. Let the user use a sony VAIO or a toshiba but when it comes to a browser he wants to use a browser which is simple and friendly. This is the success mantra for mozilla. Long live Firefox

    love, shravan

    Actually, this was the only place that I found in which I could leave a note to express my profound thanks for improving my online life by at least 100 per cent! Firefox is the most incredible browser I have encountered; fun to use, intuitive of the user’s needs, this entire system adapts itself to the user, rather than vice versa. And the T-shirts and gear - just plain fun! I’ll be ordering the Japanese Temple shirt soon.
    And recommending Firefox to all of my friends.
    Thanks again to everyone involved in making your products available. You’re the best.

  101. Victor Says:

    Well, I want to share my story and hope to win a black XL TShirt. My roomie’s PC got infected by a worm that would prevent IE to got into Internet. So there he was, “Vic can you help?” and I replied “You should get Firefox, get on internet and download ClamWin”. So I plugged my external drive with a copy of FF2 into his PC. 5 minutes later he was able to access Internet. Now, he does not even click on IE.

    The thing is until that day, I have not realized how important was the size of FF2, how quick was the installation, and how secure it was.

    You did a great job guys.

    ps: when will my t-shirt be delivered?

  102. kirst Says:

    firefox is the best browser i’ve used. much, much better than internet explorer, and is almost virus-free. much more reliable than internet explorer and doesn’t crash or lag or anything. and i like how the default homepage is google, as this is normally where i start browsing. i’m surprised it’s free ’cause it’s so good.

  103. Steve Bender Says:

    I was spotted wearing my original Firefox 1.0 November 2002 navy blue t-shirt yesterday by a beautiful lady. She noticed and said, “Isn’t that the little fox thing that I surf the web with?” I said yes honey it sure is. She then said, “I would love if you could come over to my house and show me how the browser menu works.” I said, I will show you the Firefox Tools first from the menu and then I will teach you about History.” She said, “I would love that!” We then went to her house and completed a full course of browser Menu option training and are planning to continue our sessions once per week.

    Thanks You Firefox,

    Steve

  104. Chris Says:

    Ugh, if only all my retarded customers used Firefox like I told them to; I have never used anti-virus software (it’s a waste of time) the only time I would catch anything was when I had to unfortunately use IE.

    Seriously, Firefox should have been shipped with Vista :D, may have made the OS worthwhile.

    Long live Mozilla.

    My son turned me on to Mozilla about 3 years ago and it has been my only browsing medium. No crashes or annoying pop up crap. I regularly run adware/spyware cleaners and ever since using Firefox rarely have problems show up. IE just doesn’t compare. I still run Win2K (because I’m old) and have no problems running Firefox. Keep up the good browsing!!!!

  110. Dan Zero Says:

    I have converted a majority of my area to using Firefox from the schools web page design and other computer oriented classes to all my friends computers, its a really amazing program, i am always looking through new add ons and enjoy the security and ease of use that is provided, i love the logo also, if i had a strong enough decal set i would probably outfit my motorcycle Firefox style, if i had the money for a custom paint job instead of a decal set i would most likely just get both sides of my gas tank with the logo and paint the whole thing a matching blue. I want that gigantic 70 dollar sticker but unfortunately cannot afford it!

  111. Steve Hill Says:

    I started using Firefox when it first came out. I used to have to support about fifteen users, and they all had spyware infested PCs. It took a solid week to get these pcs back to normal. I had to clean install a fresh copies of Windows(or do a restore from mfg cd) I had to stay late every night, until all machines were back to normal. I installed FireFox, hid the IE icons, and set Firefox as the default browser, and haven’t looked back. I have not had one instance of spyware-related trouble on a pc since! I truly love FireFox, because it has saved me from hearing, “My machine is acting funny.) or, “I can’t get on the Internet…”

    Also every time I went to fix anyone else’s computer, there suddenly was a Firefox installed as a primary browser. After introducing Firefox to many of my friends, they have been impressed and have just started using it.
