Random Thoughts

While i’m sure lost of people have heard of this already but I just found out about it. Ever wish you had firefox while working on a lab computer at school? But all they have is IE??? well this would be your product… Portable Firefox. You download the file on the website, then unzip it to your usb thumb drive and there you go (it does look like it will work with a network drive too), firefox that can be used on lab computers. Sure I find this AFTER school gets out for the semester, but there is always next semester. Check out its development webpage to download it and see how to install it:mozdev.org - portablefirefox

So more then likely if you are reading this post, you are not using Firefox…. WHY THE HECK NOT! According to my page states, only about 20% of people viewing my blog have firefox (which I’m sure my frequent visits boost the up a tiny bit), while over 75% are still using Internet Explorer. I beg you, for your own sake, for your family’s sake, and for the people who you will send virus’ sake, at least try firefox (or something other the IE).

Even IBM is telling their workers to download it to use.

So far there have been downloads of Firefox. (note: the counter is real-time and changes ever couple minutes… and yes it is in the millions). That many people can’t be wrong can they?

The best parts to the Browser is: A: Tabbed Browsing…. you can have multiple web pages opened in one browser. It is very nice when flipping though several pages at once… awesome if your a muli-tasker.
B. Firefox Extensions: Because Firefox is open source, lots of people with lots of time on their hands are able to make add-ons to make your life easier! It also allows people to extensions for fun websites like geobloggers, someone helped put together a script to make posting pictures there much simpler.
C. Virtually no Virus though the browser. Ever since I have installed Firefox, I have had little spy/adware and virus found on my computer since installing Firefox. (read more about virus and adware and why you should get firefox HERE)

So yeah, what are you waiting for???

I want to see my stats for browser share go up for firefox!!!!!

And if you still are not going to get it, you better have a good reason and post why in my comments (people with firefox can comment too).
