6545 reasons not to get Firefox

[carl4286]

I'm not trying to start an argument here, or get anyone mad at me. Im just sticking up for my loyal browser, IE 6.0.

I believe someone started a topic like this against IE awhile back that contained a list of 24 unpatched bugs. So here it is... a list of 6545 things wrong with firefox.

Definetly more, if you are sticking to IE after at least trying out Opera or Fire Fox then there's something wrong with you. For the people that say they all suck and have never used Fire Fox then you are just a child of the Microsoft Monopoly.

Yes, my sister uses it.

and I'm not saying that all of the other browsers out there suck... I'm just trying to make a point. They're not perfect.

We know so many things about Firefox because it's open source and people are actually able to find bugs. More importantly, they feel they will be listened to if they reveal them. Would you want to bother trying to report a bug to Microsoft if you found one?

With Firefox it's easier to find bugs and it's easier to report them. And they get fixed.

I used I.E., I hate I.E.

I use Firefox and I love it. Some bugs are nothing for me to worry about so long as I see it working as I feel it should.

They are both free, I use both, they both work good.
IE will not work for me on some things, Fire will.
Fire will not work for me on some things, IE will.
It's all good.

Three flaws concerning the way Internet Explorer renders web pages were discovered by various US computer security researchers. Any of these could be used to break into a target PC through a specially crafted web page.

On 21 December 2004, several months after discovering one of the flaws, an independent US computer security team called GreyHats Security Group published code showing exactly how to use the flaw to hijack a computer.

Microsoft has yet to release a software fix for any of the problems and US computer security firm Secunia raised its threat assessment for all three flaws to the most severe on Friday...

A statement posted to GreyHats Security Group's website defends the decision to post the example code online, on the grounds that Microsoft was alerted to the problem in October 2004.

"Think of how irresponsible it was of Microsoft to not patch these vulnerabilities during the several months that they were known," says a statement from GreyHats. "It would have been easy to fix some of the core vulnerabilities."
