    I'm considered the "Firefox reseller" at work. I keep telling everyone to get FF, why IE is bad, and so on. And I'm the first one they come to when

    a) They have a problem with FF
    b) They want to beat someone up for FF not "acting like IE"

    They will be elated. Or not.

    Not acting like IE? Ok well tell them after each site the goto, they can go isntall a trojan of spyware. That will be just like IE and should make them very happy.

    Why is it everytime someone has a BS opinion the always start it off with
    "I am a (enter random IT position) for a huge corporation"
    ??

    Whatever.

    Why does it matter to this guy if people use Firefox?

    FF does still have some issues in multi user envrionments. Admins won't deploy it for the simple reason, they cannot lock it down and stop users changing things like their proxy settings and chaching preferences.

    I was kicked out of the college library for using FF. The admin told me it it was form of hacking becuase I was deliberatly bypassing internet Explorer restrictions they had set (such as opening a new window).

    People didn't understand the interface

    Lots of obvious keyboard- and mouse shortcuts were missing

    …and a lot more complaints I can't remember at the moment
    Well, I'm convinced. Back to IE for me. Goodbye losers!!!

    Your VBF extension dont work with version 1.0, i am sure you know it by already. It would be great if you could update it when you get a chance.

    I got used to it so much that I am starting to miss it very much .

    There is a great war coming. Are you sure you are on the right side? Atleast I have chosen a side.

    If I have been helpful, Please Rate my Post. Thanks.
