As long as the community continues to share it’s love for Firefox it will continue to grow in success. Money can bring bad headlines about Firefox, but it cannot change people’s minds.

I wouldn’t change to IE if Microsoft payed me a realistic price, I doubt most Firefox users would change either.

I totally agree. They are fast at fixing their flaws, which is where Microsoft fails miserably, but as more are found, and are found faster since it is still increasing in popularity, do you think it could eventually be another Internet Explorer?

I love Firefox, but I am worried about the recent press it has been recieving (Probably thanks to Microsoft’s big pockets).

I think that knowing about the flaws in the software makes us better end-users, and so that is one of the reasons I posted that information.

I’d rather get 1.0.6 in a few days than wait a three years for IE 7…….

I’m with daryl, whenever some flaw appears that upsets the fans or developers Mozilla fix it straight away. When IE7 appears and re-writes (again) some of the code we’ve been using for years, everyone will just have to “adapt” to it, rather than the other way around.

Despite all that it’s still the best web browser…ever!

Umm, lets see… a new release broke some 3rd party software and they fixed it within days rather than make the 3rd parties change their extentions and the media is putting a negative spin on it. The shine is coming off the golden one!
