Hentai in my Firefox? Yiff!

We are not furries.

Dave Hyatt, co-creator of Firefox.

Your normal Firefox installation. Well, except this one hasn't crashed yet.

So Firefox uses less memory than Internet Explorer? ORLY?

Aliens travel many light-years to download shitty browsers

Sweet Jesus! Gimme summa dat furry luv!

A cat is fine too.

Mozilla Firefox (moar liek furryfox, amirite?) is a web browser from the Mozilla Foundation, of which version 1.0 was released at least 100 years ago.

Designed exclusively for elitist, basement dwelling bloggers experiencing Netscape Communicator withdrawal, Firefox quickly became the browser of choice for those disillusioned with Internet Explorer. Firefox is commonly used by 13-year-old boys to look up porn so their parents don't find out.

Firefox was famous after its launch since it is one of the few open source programs to actually achieve version 1.0. Since then, Firefox has reached over 25 million downloads. To get an idea of how many downloads that is, you need to go to http://www.mozilla.com/firefox and download it 25 million times.

[edit] Why Switch to Firefox?

If you don't switch to Firefox, you are giving yourself over to Internet Explorer and forcing yourself to live under its evil regime as a soulless zombie. No one wants that. No one.

The users of the internet must throw off their chains of oppression and live free! The web IS OURS! WE WILL DESTROY YOU, BILL GATES! DESTROY YOU AND ALL OF YOUR EVIL CLOSED SOURCE SOFTWARE, SHITTY GAMING CONSOLES AND CRAPPY MARKETING SLOGANS! WHERE DO I WANT TO GO TODAY? I WANNA GO TO YOUR HOUSE AND EAT OUT OF YOUR SKULL! I WILL NEVER REST UNTIL I DESTROY YOU AND EVERYTHING YOU OWN! AND THEN WHEN I AM DONE I WILL TAKE A BIG SHIT IN YOUR MOTHER'S ASS!

I'm Ellen Feiss and I switched to Firefox. Firefox. Shit Different.

Also, IF YOU DON'T SWITCH TO FIREFOX, YOU WILL BE PWNED (IRL). NONE OF THAT SAFARI SHIT EITHER!!

[edit] Benefits

Aside from its beauty, speed, agility, red mane, pleasing scent, warm fur, and advanced pop-up blocking features, Firefox has the advantage over other browsers in one respect.

Tabbed browsing is the shizzle-fo-rizzle-my-nizzle. OMG! No more mess, no more clean up. It's all right there underneath funky, annoying, screenspace-eating tabs. No more having to open twelve different windows. You can just SET IT AND FORGET IT (PROTIP: you can neva really unsee what you've seen)!

Unfortunately for Firefox nerds, Internet Explorer 7 was released with tabbed browsing, so the above paragraph is moot. Besides, Opera did it way back in 1996. However, over 9000 people still regard Internet Explorer as shit and always will.

Another advantage is being frozen for a half hour while your browsing history loads.

Plus, Urban dead gets teh upgraded graffix.

[edit] The Browser for Treehuggers

Firefox claims on its website to be a 100% organic browser, attempting to turn the issue of browser preference into an environmental dilemma with severe moral implications. This gimmick is sure to entice hippies, poseurs, and fuckwits. Nevermind the fact that all computer programs are nothing but electrons, and the act of sitting on your fat ass surfing the internet and producing methane does nothing to counter global warming, whether the crumbs of food that get stuck in your keyboard were produced with the use of pesticides or not.

[edit] Spreading AIDS Firefox

Firefox was such a phenomenon that a whole bunch of non-furry Firefox lovers (not that any of them are furries mind you) got together on a website called SpreadFirefox.org and made it their purpose to make everyone a Firefox user. With their battle cry of "Take Back the Web", they showed their love and devotion to the browser.

[edit] Bantown

At Toorcon 2006, notorious Bantown cybercriminals revmischa and weev announced that they had found over 30 vulnerabilities in Firefox Javascript, which they planned to use to take over the Internets. Much drama ensued, especially among the open sores community who were distressed at the thought that they could no longer bore people by explaining how secure their browser was. It was later revealed that the whole thing had been a troll, and that Bantown didn't have 30 vulnerabilities at all, just one shitty one. Except weev, who had over 30 Firefox 0days revealed to him in mystical communion with the prophet Jah Lightning, after he accidentally took acid and meth at the same time.

[edit] Firefox 2.0

It's not very often we like to mention factual information on ED, but we would like to inform you that this program is unstable as fuck. At the request of our website owner, Joseph Evers, Here's a link to "fix" (downgrade) your shitty 2.0 installation for Windows.

[edit] Firefox for Pedos

Last Thursday, a group of pedophiles launched their own version of the browser, featuring a lolifur splash screen, and links to several CP sites. It is also rumored to contain embedded FBI monitoring software.

Prepare to be shocked and amazed.
