Spread the word! Firefox.

Or not.

I guess my work with www.mozilla.fi is enough.

Nice work Merri. I can't understand a word but it looks great :) Is it just you running that site? I only found your name.

I made the design and did the most work to make things run. I've written a few articles as well and I keep the blog up to date often. We got the hosting for free, the whole Finnish localization team is behind the site. It got pretty hot in the news after we opened it, even though the site wasn't ready (and still isn't, we do it on our free time after all).

The page authors are hidden in meta tags.

I see :) So that is the Finnish localisation of all Mozilla products I guess.

Nice design :thumb:

Don't you mod the Finnish Firefox forum also?

What's firefox?

It's kind of like a chipmunk I think.

Deer Park Alpha2 is better than firefox, even though its still in alpha. You can use normal firefox extensions with deerpark.

Weirdly enough, Deer Park is branded as Firefox in localized builds :)


Penagate: the Firefox forum is now the forum of Mozilla.fi, moved it there :) It is a all-in-one site. Atleast it will be once it is finished.

Interesting tr333, I was under the impression Deer Park, ah, was Firefox :D

Merri: Cool, maybe we should start a list of all Firefox resources (in the first post perhaps)? The main ones, and then all the localised websites and forums.

The "Tell us all about it" button is attached here.

I've converted about 6 users, who never looked back, with the exception of my father, who had barely gotten used to IE. The only time he uses it is when he clicks on it accidentally :)

i would still be using deerpark if someone hadnt had the idea to create Camino, the mozilla browser designed for OS X.

We're lacking Finnish translator for Camino :/

I can do it...


iltaa


hu va iltaa...hmmmm mind my spelling as usual..:)


- ØØ -

forefix... blast! Firefax... damn! Fireflux... oh bugger, I give up.

Why would they launch deer park?

It's an alpha release. As the whole thing's open source anyway, why bother with closure?

I have converted 2 users from FF to IE :lol:

I used to like you dude :sick:

;)

Well I guess I can post my Fx buttons here agian. Most of them look like crap. I could make a small button to the right that has a link to this "tell us about it" thread.

I think I have converted 2 people directly and maybe a few others by just mentioning it. With 1 person, I was sitting on their computer and while they were in the other room I DLed Fx and installed it and when they came back I told them I had helped them more than they could imagine and I told them which I icon to click from then on out.

Fx is becoming kind of a cult phenomenon like Google. I think google is a little more evil, but they are both still awesome.

Its a Beast? What kind? :lol: ;)

I've converted my whole Counter-Strike Source clan to use FireFox. The search function makes it easier to find match demos when trying to download them (on the page they are stored, for example, like this: 200509051805_auto_referee_de_dust2.dem, meaning 9th of may 2005 at 6:05pm). :D

chem

im currently using firefox and enjoying it;)

Its kinda weird seeing someone Post and their post count is 0 :D

Welcome to the forums gchick :)

chem

FireFox be damned!

You'll never get the respect of my...err...Microsoft's Internet Explorer.
I'm...er..we...uh...Microsoft is releasing a new version that will dominate for eternity...all browsers will bow down to me...uh...my...uh...Internet Explorer...and I will...uh...i...it will rule the universe....MUHAHAHAHAHA!!!....

Yours Truly,
Bill Gates :wave:

She (or he?) has been around posting for a while, but only comes to CC. She seems to be somewhat of a mystery. I don't think she has ever started a thread either, but I could be wrong.

OK Rob. Tell us all about why IE is so much better than Fx ;) All the extra spyware you can get from it that you just somehow can't in Firefox. All the hundreds of wonderful little security holes that the Mozilla developers forgot to include. :wave:

Assuming your being serious. You are on here a lot these days. Therefore, you must have a lot of time when you have nothing, ah, productive to do ;)

I had mine converted until he found out his internet banking website only worked in IE. Despite my efforts to convince him to change banks, he has now gone back to the dark side :(

easy.
use Fx for the main browser, and place a shortcut on the desktop for accessing the bank website through IE.

Code:

---

iexplore "http://www.example.com/"

---

Hmm yeah good idea. I'll try that.

Cheers

That'd be great :) I might make one in the style of Sfx's "Get Firefox" button, so the images ad looks a bit better. Then we can have 3 styles to choose from :)

Google is planning world domination with all its random products (Google Earth, Google Talk or Walk or whatever, etc.) I dunno if Mozilla are gonna bring out a chat client? :D

Done. I also moved the ads into the first post so they are a bit easier to find.

Depends on "a lot". Mostly I'm here when my brains haven't booted up or when they've ran out of all energy :) Plus I check topics with replies from UserCP when I have an idle moment.

:D

I have Fx and the installer on my USB drive now. Now I can convert poor ignorant IE users wherever I go.

I feel like a preacher :D :lol:
