Another reason to Switch to Firefox

Another reason to Switch to Firefox 09/27/2004 03:22 AM

I watch my site statistics very closely and I realize that a lot of you are not paying attention. 72% of you still use Internet Explorer to visit the site and that makes me frown. I suppose old habits die hard.

I can tell you this for every person I have invited to switch to Firefox personally 9 out 10 have thanked me later. Try it for a week cold turkey. Check out the plug-ins they have available. If tabbed browsing is not enough to convince you I have no idea what will. [ZDNet]

Thanks to Microsoft, I finally made the switch to Firefox on my Powerbook. I'm totally addicted to clicking links with the wheel-mouse button to open them in new tabs. Firefox does that by default on my platforms (Solaris x86, Linux, and Windows XP), but for some odd reason, on Mac you have to map the wheel button to be a "Control Click" rather than just a click. I couldn't do that until I downloaded the appropriate Microsoft Intellipoint mouse drivers.

Microsoft Blogger : How can I trust
Firefox? 12/22/2004 01:23 AM
Microsoft employee Peter Torr has started a flame war in his own blog today. Torr claims that the distribution and code signing of Firefox isn't up to scratch. Torr provides screenshots of the latest XPSP2 protection IE but fails to mention the poor protection in IE 6 SP1 which many more users are still using. Nevertheless if you enjoy battling it out about Firefox vs IE then this is a read for you. Here's a snip:

"But the thing that makes me really not trust the browser is that it doesn't matter how secure the original code is if the typical usage pattern of the browser requires users to perform insecure actions.

· Installing Firefox requires downloading an unsigned binary from a random web server
· Installing unsigned extensions is the default action in the Extensions dialog
· There is no way to check the signature on downloaded program files
· There is no obvious way to turn off plug-ins once they are installed
· There is an easy way to bypass the "This might be a virus" dialog"

Microsoft blocking pages to Firefox
users? 06/22/2005 02:12 AM

I have run into a few pages over at Microsoft that have not loaded from time to time in Firefox, and really did not think anything about it. Apparently it is getting the dandruff up of some of the Firefox development team. I am not all that surprised, but I would be curious to have a technical explanation on why they will not load or are they simply and truly being blocked? If someone can answer that question I think that would explain a lot on why it is happening. [weblogs .mozillazine.org/asa/]

Yes, But When Can I Switch Off From
Work? 04/14/2004 10:37 PM
Welcome to the modern "always on, always connected" work world. It's gotten to the point where Microsoft discovered, after handing out smart phones, tablet PCs and broadband connections to employees that they needed to give their employees special instructions on how to turn off work. This isn't a new problem, and it's certainly been discussed before. While some people can handle the work/life balance without a problem - it's not so easy for everyone else. Even for those who can switch off, it's made more difficult by their colleagues who can't - and who contact them at odd hours with work requests. This is going to become a bigger issue for modern companies to deal with. There are, obviously, some advantages, but people need to learn their limits.
