Activity for May 18

Review - Mozilla Firefox (v13) for Windows
13.0 Beta 4 (May 18, 2012)

This beta has made a ton of progress. It's much more friendly and now supports my security system. It also supports all my extensions.
Review - Mozilla Firefox (v13) for Windows
13.0 Beta 3 (May 11, 2012)

The problem I have with this version is the failure of my system security to auto-update when it's installed.
Review - Mozilla Firefox (v12) for Windows
12.0 (Apr 26, 2012)

This browser doesn't need a review, it needs an exterminator. My security system wouldn't auto-update, backup software was non-functional and system cleaner didn't work.

Mozilla can have this back with a loud NO!
Review - Mozilla Firefox (v8) for Windows
8.0.1 (Nov 28, 2011)

This browser doesn't coordinate well with my system security program. The browser is just fine, so I'll have to check with my security folks to see what's up.
Review - Mozilla Firefox (v7) for Windows
7.0.1 (Sep 30, 2011)

Firefox seems to have lost direction. This version is, at best, usable. It's certainly not very intuitive and my system indicates an increase in resource use. The users have shown a great deal of patience, time for Firefox to put up or shut up.

Whether with intent or not Betanews has essentially turned their website over to you sparkless. Any site you'd run I don't care to visit. So this is my last comment on Betanews and my last visit. Don't think it hasn't been a little slice of heaven, cause it hasn't.

Who knows what evil lurks in the hearts of men? The Shadow knows, but he's not telling anyone.

At this juncture we don't enough about this damn thing to even guess what this OS will do. We can't even say what it might be. Only time will tell the story, but I'll bet it didn't make Ballmer's day.

Google has a great deal of what makes the world go round, it's that green stuff. If you have enough of it, you can do pretty much whatever you please.

Since "Toolie" has an agenda in all this, I take whatever he says with a grain of salt.

7.0.1 (Jul 4, 2009 - 9:13 PM)

Everyone lies, but it makes no difference, because no one listens. Being silent is not listening, it's merely waiting to speak. The art of listening has been dead for many years. Geeks are among the worst listeners and they absolutely demand to be told that what they say is always correct.
Comment - Firefox 3.5 is live!
7.0.1 (Jun 30, 2009 - 3:51 PM)

Hardly the end all and be all of browsers. I use a lot of Stardock products on my system and I can't install themes directly from Firefox. I'm just not that impressed. It definitely comes off my system.

Toolie and I don't agree all that often, but, in this case I think his analysis is dead on.

I love John Dvorak's quote " There's a vast amount of information on the internet, too bad 90% of it is wrong."
