  • pedmond, on 10/16/2007, -29/+398OK now, how did you manage to make a screen capture of my computer?
    • PSPon, on 10/18/2007, -930/+34Hold Alt then Print Screen to copy a shot of the window you are on, or just Print Screen to copy the entire screen. Then paste it into an image program.
    • maverick999, on 10/28/2007, -8/+224I wonder how long it takes to start up the browser...
    • Akaji, on 10/18/2007, -10/+344PSPon = clueless.

      Anyways, that is pretty impressive. Sadly enough, it looks pretty similar to most IE users' toolbar absurdity that I see all the time...
    • Humptydank, on 10/12/2007, -8/+317I won't be satisfied until I see a screenshot of that screenshot being displayed in that browser.
    • trghpy, on 10/12/2007, -58/+12Look!
      A web browser in its natural habitat...
    • korhojoa, on 10/12/2007, -46/+0Hah - That's almost exactly what my browser looks like, with the exception of vertical tabs, and the aio sidebar on the right.
      (It does actually load in under three seconds anyway)

      There you have it, FF inside of a rational FF.
    • waahooo, on 10/12/2007, -6/+60Wolfman, I believe Humptydank wants a screenshot of that screenshot using that specific browser with all those addons, not just a normal Firefox capturing the screenshot.
    • FunkyChicken, on 10/12/2007, -12/+12@Wolfman
      Dude, you misunderstood what Humptydank was saying. :(
      Not inside a rational Firefox browser, but one exactly like the one in the 'Gone Wild' screenshot.
      Anybody out there got one? Too tired to set it up right now. :)
    • crispytown, on 10/12/2007, -45/+6@Wolfman

      The right way is FX not FF
    • afx1, on 10/18/2007, -25/+137Still easier to use than IE7's UI.
    • fkr2, on 10/12/2007, -24/+13Am I the only one who just wants a browser to browse? I'm using Opera but I have the minimum amount of anything being displayed ... just the tab bar + the address / nav buttons.
    • mdmadph, on 10/12/2007, -10/+31good point, Akaji, with one exception -- IE users' toolbars often end up looking that way without their knowledge (and the average IE user doesn't have much), while any user of Firefox who ends up with toolbars looking like this did so intentionally. ;)
    • ICSU, on 10/12/2007, -12/+2I was looking for clueless and found PSPon's post there, with 'see also: Wolfman's'.
    • rockforever, on 10/12/2007, -11/+6one of the addons you installed allows other to take screen of your comp :0
    • ConceptJunkie, on 10/12/2007, -19/+6@crispytown

      According to Mozilla.com the right way is FFx.

    • Heembo, on 10/12/2007, -16/+7I wonder how many security vulnerabilities this adds to the browser.
    • seanmc303, on 10/18/2007, -7/+58The only thing missing in this screen shot is the task manager showing how much memory is being sucked down by FF.
    • crispytown, on 10/12/2007, -12/+22@ConceptJunkie

      READ the Firefox FAQs.

      http://www.mozilla.org/support/firefox/faq#spell-abbreviate

      Firefox is spelled F-i-r-e-f-o-x - only the first letter capitalized (i.e. not FireFox, not Foxfire, FoxFire or whatever else a number of folk seem to think it to be called.) The preferred abbreviation is “Fx” or “fx”.
    • incubusnb, on 10/12/2007, -8/+3ug, looks like the browsers in the computer commons at college, both browsers, IE and FF, has at least 3 different toolbars, all of which I disable the second i open the browser.

      whenever i can use a computer in a lab, where most of the users are techies, i do that, the commons just happens to have mostly non-techs on the computers
    • mwosh, on 10/12/2007, -5/+39Bottom Right: "1 error"

      Oh, there are many more errors than that my friend.
    • Shirokun, on 10/12/2007, -11/+13Let's play: Where's waldo
    • Misfitpierce, on 10/12/2007, -6/+1That thing looks crazy as hell
    • jeremy66158, on 10/12/2007, -6/+1You should add Stylish so you can make google freaky too!
    • jasz, on 10/12/2007, -7/+2argh... my eyes!.. it hurts...
    • LR2_, on 10/12/2007, -3/+55@Humptydank

      Here it is: http://www.animepodcast.org/firefox_explosion.jpg

      ..yes, it was photoshopped.
    • jake8689, on 10/12/2007, -6/+39Pspon i think he may just broken the dugg down recored
    • Humptydank, on 10/12/2007, -2/+8@LR2_

      That is freaking gorgeous. Sadly, however, I was wrong -- I'm not satisfied.

      I'm going out now to buy some blue/red 3D glasses; that will take about an hour so you should probably get to work.

      Thanks!
    • mentor972, on 10/12/2007, -20/+1Looks like what happens to IE if you don't run Adware Protection, Spyware Protection, Virus Software, a Firewall... WHEW!! I'm getting tired just writing all that.

      MAC RULES!
    • sldSquirrel, on 10/12/2007, -1/+22Reminds me of this picture: http://toadstool.se/journal/images/friends-dont-let-friends-use-ie.jpg
    • Devz0r, on 10/12/2007, -4/+6Where's the box that says

      Mozilla Firefox has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience.

    • Darkkish, on 10/12/2007, -10/+2Which is worse? http://toadstool.se/journal/images/friends-dont-let-friends-use-ie.jpg
    • Zaphod2016, on 10/12/2007, -5/+4@wolfman

      I think we've broken the third wall here...

    • Cerberus047, on 10/12/2007, -4/+5The award for most negitive diggs goes to.......*drum roll*.......


      PSPon


      Congrats little guy
    • thatsmyaibo, on 10/12/2007, -8/+4"OK now, how did you manage to make a screen capture of my computer?"

      I have an extension that can screenshot other peoples computer.
  • patrix, on 10/12/2007, -81/+4LOL! Beware of the Internets...anyone could be watching...*evil grin*
  • bonkers1, on 10/14/2007, -4/+168Sooo...where do I type a URL?
    • pixelmixer, on 10/12/2007, -4/+95with all those extensions it damn well better read your thoughts. No need to type anything.
    • Jaymoon, on 10/12/2007, -2/+58The address bar takes up too much space...

      I mean, after all, wouldn't want the guy to clutter up his browser....
    • skydivingdutch, on 10/12/2007, -14/+9Yo, where is AdBlock+ ?
    • Darkkish, on 10/12/2007, -1/+5@ dutch

      It's the one that looks like a bug with a NO (/) sign around it. thats what it looked like before its most recent update.
  • ghazalparvati, on 10/12/2007, -24/+8This made my day/
    Sooo funny/geeky/diggy/
    • swhitt, on 10/12/2007, -23/+4how is that geeky? someone just installed a bunch of extensions.
  • comrade693, on 10/14/2007, -2/+54I'm pretty sure that's not all possible extensions, but it still looks pretty darn bad.
    • motivator, on 10/12/2007, -2/+37yeah i note a few missing, too, but this did make me lol...reminds me of members of my family who know how to install but not uninstall. also, how about the search engines? :)
    • TiMMY8765, on 10/12/2007, -6/+60Firefox Extensions...
      Gotta Catch em All!
    • spacebar14, on 10/12/2007, -2/+36The best part is... he can revert it to 100% out-of-the-box normal by deleting his profile folder.
      Boom, like magic.
    • fkr2, on 10/12/2007, -19/+5No, the best bit is Firefox will delete his profile without him doing anything at all!
    • haleym, on 10/12/2007, -2/+4It's definitely not all of them - the sidebar says there are 101 extensions installed, and going here will tell you there are over 2000 extensions on addons.mozilla.org:

      https://addons.mozilla.org/search.php?app=firefox&appfilter=firefox&type=E&sort=downloads

      Still impressive that they managed to get that many installed and still have the browser start up, though...
    • Gizza, on 10/12/2007, -1/+13Next time an Opera user tells you that Opera can do everything that FF extensions can do right off the bat, show em this pic.
  • mynameistim, on 10/28/2007, -4/+184that's what my dad's IE looks like, except not as a joke.
    • will-rom, on 10/12/2007, -20/+5Does he suffer from severe migraines? Because I got one from just a glance.
    • Klowner, on 10/12/2007, -2/+14A friend of mine has his IE set up like that as well, it's horrific, it's like he's making a toolbar collection
  • mikefitz2, on 10/14/2007, -4/+163screenshot of taskmanager with RAM allocation would be interesting
    • marx, on 10/12/2007, -43/+10i would like to see that too
    • terminality, on 10/12/2007, -4/+29then dig him up to support his comment.
    • a0me, on 10/12/2007, -2/+59Taskmanager committed suicide and crashed
  • berfmurret, on 10/12/2007, -20/+6how vulgar.
  • foxhaze, on 10/18/2007, -151/+2What a dumbass. He shouldn't be allowed on the internet ever again.
    • 1021, on 10/12/2007, -4/+64it's supposed to be a joke... genius.
    • SpacemanSpiff, on 10/18/2007, -4/+90You and PSPon should buddy up. I bet you two have a lot in common.
    • ilferetl, on 10/12/2007, -2/+28@foxhaze: and neither should you. learn to laugh, you'll live longer
  • patientXero, on 10/12/2007, -18/+5I bet that take somewhere close to 48 years to start up.
    • aMiTnaRain, on 10/12/2007, -16/+1i doubt this kind of a person can make even 48 hours without internet.

      this is hilarious though. u only get a small, tiny place for displaying the web page.
  • Superflks, on 10/14/2007, -6/+41I found Waldo...or at least his glasses.
    But honestly, what percentage of extensions in that mess are actually used daily? if ever?
  • Urusai, on 10/28/2007, -3/+121Load time: eventually.
  • starvo, on 10/12/2007, -10/+15Oh my lord, what have you done?
    And hey, if it was IE, all of those would be 'search assistant' tool bars. ;-)
    • mapkinase, on 10/12/2007, -2/+6On day one, Tim Berners-Lee created HTTP, and it was good...
  • procdaddy, on 10/14/2007, -7/+78Why was I expecting nudes? :/
  • sweetmartian, on 10/12/2007, -13/+1that would crash Blue Gene
  • DoodlesMcPooh, on 10/12/2007, -13/+4Come on now this is just silly.
  • Razster, on 10/12/2007, -13/+5Barebones Firefox eats 60mb of ram. I don't even want to think of how much ram that beast would eat on start up let alone after being used all day.

    digg.
    • Hashiro, on 10/12/2007, -13/+2Idiot... I'm running Firefox 2.0 with a handful of extensions right now and I'm barely using 40MB... Where do you get 60?!
    • chapium, on 10/12/2007, -5/+7I'm always amazed by the number of people on this site starting their comments with "idiot"
  • naio21, on 10/12/2007, -14/+4http://digg.com/tech_news/Bug_or_Conspiracy_Digg_users_go_CRAZY_modding_down_comments
  • oakj423, on 10/12/2007, -11/+5so...how did they get rid of that damn yahoo toolbar that wants to install with everything
  • MacParrot, on 10/12/2007, -8/+15I know there's a web browser there somewhere.......
  • Chicagoland, on 10/12/2007, -19/+13Extensions-whore!

    edit: digg me down, i'm a naughty boy...
  • pavetheforest, on 10/12/2007, -7/+2does it fly a spacecraft, too? with all those buttons it should do something like that...
  • tombomb, on 10/12/2007, -10/+3That made my eyes bleed.
  • charbarred, on 10/12/2007, -55/+6This is why I stopped using FF. I have 4 computers, and kept having to install and update a million extensions in each computer. In the end I just had to revert to Maxthon that just ships with all the functionality I need.
    • cam18, on 10/12/2007, -5/+36You know that they installed all those extensions as a joke right?
    • oakj423, on 10/12/2007, -4/+21google browser sync
    • tradjik, on 10/12/2007, -12/+5Update Notifier

      https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/2098/

      Notifies you when updates are available for your extensions and themes. Allows quick access to your extensions and themes and the ability to check both types for any updates. Easily configurable for automatically installing updates when available and checking for updates when Firefox starts.
    • regeya, on 10/12/2007, -3/+40You! OUT OF THE GENE POOL!!!
    • gargantuan, on 10/12/2007, -3/+18you *Had* to keep installing extensions?
    • Stirk, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4Huh? You had to keep updating them? Honestly, it's not like you have to go back to the Mozilla site and look for updates for the extensions you have installed.

      Edit: Apparently just about 5 million people got to saying it before me. Whoops >_>
    • orbital2012, on 10/12/2007, -4/+2charbarred, youre an idiot.
  • magicmarc, on 10/12/2007, -38/+2A web browser should be about browsing. Too many extensions can make a web browser more about browsing tools than browsing. I mean, look at how much space there is for the actual web page itself.
    • pbaehr, on 10/12/2007, -2/+52You know that sort of whooshing noise you heard overhead a few minutes ago?

      That was the joke. Next time glance up quick and you might catch a glimpse of it.
  • bigjules27, on 10/12/2007, -40/+1It is crazy to think that you intend to download only the ie from firefox but when u expand it you get over a 100 other extensions. They should be forced to tell you that it comes with all of that to.
    • Pathius, on 10/12/2007, -2/+48Download ie from firefox? What?

      Call your ISP and tell them to cut you off because you're too stupid for the internet.
    • b00m3rang, on 10/12/2007, -5/+3@Pathius: Never used IE Tab, I assume? You can use the IE rendering engine inside a Firefox tab. Parent poster is also incorrect, because it doesn't bring toolbars with it.
  • suntereo, on 10/12/2007, -10/+4Love it! But it makes me dizzy.
  • cam18, on 10/12/2007, -16/+8What's sad about this is that there is probably someone with a web browser that looks exactly like this...
    • Shriker, on 10/12/2007, -5/+15There is... and they took a screenshot. >__>
  • justgeorge, on 10/12/2007, -15/+6Wrong title? Shouldn't it be Zune media center? ;-)
  • kubudubudubuntu, on 10/12/2007, -7/+2With that many extensions and stuff, you can finally relax and watch some TV while letting it do all the things you normally would do in the browser automatically!
  • MacParrot, on 10/12/2007, -12/+5I did a search to find all those extensions and what page would list them all. When Googled it asked me "Wear the fox hat?"

    So while I'm looking for a fox hat, can someone list the site for those extensions?
  • jteague82, on 10/12/2007, -8/+3That's ridiculous. I love it!
  • BobMysterioso, on 10/12/2007, -9/+4No stumbleupon or trackmenot.

    I do see web developer - which rocks my socks.
  • sprintmarathon, on 10/12/2007, -11/+1ADHD much?
  • aclements, on 10/12/2007, -9/+4i think they missed one
  • djliquidice, on 10/12/2007, -14/+1You have too much time on your hands. ghey.
  • jchip, on 10/12/2007, -6/+1lol torino 2006 logo
    http://www.google.com/intl/en/doodle11.html

    so crazy...so many extensions....
  • danknerd, on 10/12/2007, -11/+1YUCK
  • enjourni, on 10/14/2007, -5/+49This is your firefox.
    This is your firefox on crack.
    Any questions?
  • daleeburg, on 10/12/2007, -7/+1Really is there anything you cant do with all thoughts extensions, you know, besides surf the web?
  • dmccreary, on 10/12/2007, -8/+2What! No XForms extension? ;-)

    The browser IS the (IDE)!

    Who needs Eclipse?

    IDE=Integrated Development Environment
  • dvgeoster9, on 10/12/2007, -9/+3No Google toolbar or Stumble. lol
  • frankcow, on 10/12/2007, -6/+1Also missing Adsense Notifier...

  • MikeSobe, on 10/12/2007, -8/+6I saw this a while back, PC Mag or someone installed the top 100 extensions according to some site. The funny part is the 100th extension did something like allow you to install multiple extensions at once. lol
