worldfirefoxday.com — Are you a fan of Firefox? Want to spread the word to a friend who hasn't heard of it yet? If you can convince just one person to switch to Firefox before September 15th, you'll both be immortalized in Firefox 2.0's source code.

This is going to slow down the browser. In order to be able to view the names (I'm assuming in Help > About or something like that) it will have to be in the soruce code. Thus more bloated.Man, I really like this browser too.

Or, even better, install Ubuntu on his machine with OpenOffice and Firefox :)

It doesn't actually say that. I doubt they're put it on their servers since it wouldn't be accessible offline. More likely it will be stored in a file somewhere locally.

Neither does my PC :) Well as far as I know. There are a lot more people using Windows, and a lot of not very computer savvy computer people using it. Sometimes it is easy to get the impression that every Windows PC is infested with a million viruses etc. Some of that has to do with the security industry (antivirus companies etc) trying to get people to buy their products.. but anyway.

Firefox may have its flaws, but are immediately found and fixed. Where IE knows they are there, but fails to quickly address them."here is a car that goes 20km/h faster than your current one" when the person is already satisfied with the speed the car goes. It is meaningless. If they were unhappy with the speed of their car, they would find a car that went faster themselves."Sure the car may go fast, but does the faster car have air bags, and a way to protect an individual and or their passengers during a collision? This is where IE is the car WITHOUT airbags, as you surf the net it just allows about anything to install with its ActiveX, or tricking users with the 'Install Cool Web Tools Now" likeWindows.Firefox, offers the same speed but wait, also Airbags. When it encounters a site on the web it the airbag is deployed, and warns the user that there is some bad code attempting to install itself on the system. All this along with the top level of customizing software by the users for the users, is what makes Firefox the winner in this race.Yes Microsoft has updated itself to IE7, which is still beta. But they still have not opened their browserdoors all the way to allow users to write extensions for IE. I doubt we will see this any time soon, after all Microsoft is against Open Source.

You can't mirror a page that has to talk back to the real server.
