Re: Firefox 3 Breaks Records, Then Itself
The title of this is nonsensical rubbish. How does Firefox "Break Itself"? If you have to put a sensationalist title on an article to get people to read it, then perhaps you shouldn't be writing them.

Re: Firefox 3 Breaks Records, Then Itself
I agree with gosseyn.

The article title is sensationalist B.S. to garner more pageviews without any story to back up the "breaks itself" part! You got me, I clicked it. The "breaks records" part is OLD news. Like a month old news...

Re: Firefox 3 Breaks Records, Then Itself
Ditto gosseyn and Zuke. Downvoted because there's nothing particularly interesting in this article relative to the title it was given.

Re: Firefox 3 Breaks Records, Then Itself
Agreed. A more accurate title would have been, "Responsive Firefox Patches Prevent Attacks; Microsoft Procrastinates Until Damage is Done."

Re: Firefox 3 Breaks Records, Then Itself
i think the person who wrote the article is a IE user and doesnt wanna face reality that all ie is doing is ripping off features already included in firefox.


look at ie8 beta 2. what it offers thats new, firefox already has in final version of 3 (and had in their later alpha versions over a yr ago). ms promised higher security then ever before. clearly they meant only for ie and not overall because firefox still offers more and firefox 3.1 beta 1 is around the corner. poor ie.


oh didnt everyone find it funny when the ie team didnt think firefox would even do 2 million on launch day? the cake even said "congrats on the release of firefox 3". when asked before the release ie team said there is no way firefox will do 2 million in a day (they said that because ie has never had more than 2 million downloads in a week).


ms always stretches the truth to make itself look good.


Vista is doing better then xp now! yet they leave out that its because xp is discontinued


they show videos showing people who try vista for the 1st time liking it, yet leave out the fact most who have used vista always go back to xp


they claim ie is better then ever before but wont bring up how other browser have had for years what new features ie just implimented


they claim ie is more used then firefox so it makes it better. they leave out the fact that thats only because ie is preinstalled and a lot still use ie6


they claim ie is more secure and list all the bugs firefox has, yet wont mention the fact that ms doesnt mention all the bugs they have while firefox does


along with their speech about ie used more then firefox. they count all pcs that have ie not how many actually use it.


here's a fact. pcs that dont come preinstalled with ie firefox is used over 60% + then ie is. you notice ms leaves that out too.


so can you really trust ms products?

Re: Firefox 3 Breaks Records, Then Itself
I voted this article down because it reports on and promotes Opera 9.51 which came out in early July. On August 20, Opera.com released version 9.52 with important security fixes. That's six days before the date on this article. I know things are moving fast, but you've got to keep up!
