I Heart Firefox

I just downloaded Firefox 1.5 and although I try to keep personal stuff out of this blog, can I just say how much I love Firefox. The Jawa Report looks so sweet with Firefox 1.5. That little glitch which doesn't allow IE users to copy and paste text from The Jawa Report is fixed in Firefox 1.5. Even writing this post seems like a better experience. And it is soooo much faster than my IE browser ever was!

And the best part? This little Jawa logo that the good folks at Mozilla have somehow managed to add to The Jawa Report url field:

1 Dude, it doesn't take much to please you. Firefox didn't put that little icon there. Your webmaster did. Firefox just allows it to be displayed. IE will too if it's coded right in the head of your HTML.

2 Really? Cool. I didn't know that.

3 Konqueror is my browser of choice, it has a lot of the features that Firefox has, plus a whole lot more: 1. on the fly disabling/enabling of Java/Javascript/cookies via click on the toolbar, or a global per domain ACL of the above. 2. icon on toolbar allows me to change browser string, or I can configure it to do it on only certain sites (e.g sites that insist you use IE) 3. w3 tools (via konqplugins) ! 4. enable/disable caching using toolbar icon. 5. Tabs configured to have a close button, or favicon, can arrange tabs with Ctrl and configure to open new tab after current window or before. etc 6. Autorefresh, can select from toolbar menu to refresh page in 1/2/3/4/5/ minutes etc. good for webmail. 7. Speaking Plugin: sounds like a cross between Alf, and Robby the robot but speaks webpage! pretty small footprint in ram too, which is one of the reasons I do not use Mozilla, its quite a memory hog.

5 One thing to remember about Firefox is that every so often it will spontaneously download and install the latest version, and if you don't have your bookmarks backed up, it will wipe them, and months of links to the best interracial tranny midget horse pr0n will be lost. Or so I've heard...

6 I also forgot the fact that it will store each of my bookmarks with the favicon (like the cool little jawa) which makes it really easy to visually go through the bookmarks to see what I want to select. It also has a built in "link checker" that goes through my bookmarks and shows me when the last time a page was updated, or if it's a 404 and needs deleting etc.

7 Welcome to my world Rusty.

8 Been using Firefox for a while now, much better than IE.

9 I can see we'll have a lively discussion here on the merits of each browser - except Rusty. ;-)

10 Admiral Rusty, Seven times we have come to you, olive branch in hand, only to be rebuffed and to meet you on the field of battle. We come now before you, the eighth time. If you rebuff us again you might consider the following: The life of an insur-gent is cheap by your standards. American lives have much more value, even to an insur-gent. You have your high tech gadgets and we, our toys. But we are willing to die by the millions if necessary. 5 digits and you're out. So it's a situation of bidirectional asymmetry. Ultimately, you will feel the weight of our penal code if you persist in your ways. We bring the convicted to the main square, in a cage. The children and elderly then pelt the convict repeatedly with water balloons. Kids, huh, huh. Sometimes they fill the balloons up with urine. The women stay home. They have seen it before and have better things to do. The men look on, smoking their pipes and taking in the scene. They remark on the athletic skills of little Billy or Bobby. We are a peaceful people but we will take up the balloon if provoked. We offer the following suggestions: 1). Come up with a clear set of rules. Define the limits of discourse. Delineate acts that are grounds for banishment. (Might we suggest that Posing should be one such act.) 2) Enforce the rules even-handedly. We will think you just and you will have our blessings.

11 this is his site faggot he doesn't have to do one thing you suggest, if he does not like you he can moderate you, ban you or whatever he feels fit. if you don't like how he runs his site feel free to go elsewhere. You would be better over in the echo chamber of dailykos anyway, where you could feel free to don your tinfoil hat and talk about the j00o0s and 9/11 and whatever nutcase conspiracy theories you all have.

12 If we're taking a vote, off with his head, I say. I assure you, the "olive branch" has thorns. He has no honor.

13 Greg is nothing but a troll, and should have a lifetime ban imposed on him.

14 So now I can copy and paste from Jawa and pretend it came from me? I wondered why I couldn't do that before. Schweet! PS Thank you for the nomination of honorable mention for my Cindy Sheeman caption. It's an honor. *tears of joy* Did I win any cash or something cause I've been waiting to hear back?

15 Thirdee: "Sheeman"? Did you do that on purpose? Because it's pretty funny.

16 Gregorio, Dude, what is your fascination with my blog? We enjoyed having you around for awhile, but you have overstayed your welcome. Your childish antics were annoying but your comment spam is abusive. I have unbanned you in the past, but your present abusive behavior is too much.

17 Give me all the info you have on him Rusty, I'm gonna make a road trip to Vegas next year, and I could swing by his way to personally limit his internet usage capabilities.

18 Rustito, There are too many lies to discredit. The 9-11 truth movement was recently bolstered by a paper in press, authored by Dr. Jones of BYU. http://www.physics.byu.edu/research/energy/htm7.html He has a testable hypothesis that explosives, such as thermite or RDX, were pre-positioned in WTC1, 2 and 7, thus, bringing them down on 9-11. He actually proves the hypothesis in the course of his paper. The official version of 9-11 is a lie. Americans must understand the nature of the beast that governs them.

19 Hmmm...could have sworn this was a comment area on the browser topic...Or did I miss the sign that said "Idiot Libs with no balls to comment in other posts for fear of getting ripped a new one post here" sign?... The site looks great in SAFARi as well Rus !

20 I get all of that with Safari...

Posted by: Ariya at November 30, 2005 10:10 PM (noCGr)

21 Ariya: Of course you do, and here's why: In kicking off the Macworld Expo keynote, Apple CEO Steve Jobs unveiled a new Macintosh web browser named Safari. Jobs said the browser was "based on standards", "works with any Web site", has much-improved performance over IE (page-loading speed is "three times faster", JavaScript performs twice as fast and it launches "40% faster" - comparisons to Netscape 7.0 shows similar performance gains on the Macintosh platform). The KDE connection: "[f]or its Web page rendering engine, Safari draws on software from the Konqueror open source project. Weighing in at less than one tenth the size of another open source renderer, Konqueror helps Safari stay lean and responsive." The good news for Konqueror: Apple, which said that it will be "a good open source citizen [and] share[] its enhancements with the Konqueror open source community"

22 The 9-11 truth movement was recently bolstered by a paper in press, authored by Dr. Jones of BYU. Yes Greg, along with his paper about Jesus being in North America? http://www.physics.byu.edu/faculty/jones/rel491/handstext and figures.htm Im guessing that means it happened to right? because the illustrious Dr. Jones "bolstered" the theory by writing a paper on it. damn you're a moron.

Posted by: dave at November 30, 2005 10:38 PM (CcXvt)

23 Well, at least greg finally gave himself a befitting name.

24 McGovern attacks the press. More importantly, he goes further than any high ranking government official has gone before on 9-11, and on identifying the real criminals behind our money system and our government. Note: This audio interview was not available live on the 29th due to "problems with the computers", so it was rebroadcast on the 30th, but again "problems" occurred. And it is not available on the GCN archives as of the 30th! Could it be that some group is worrying that too much serious information is making it to the public? Please download and post these audio files! http://www.iamthewitness.com/DarylBradfordSmithInterviewsMcGovern.html
