Well, could this be the one to replace my old Dell?
This is the new Apple MacBook

As a long time Firefox user, and a frequent Asa Dotzler’s blog reader, on November 2, 2005, I left a comment on Asa’s blog, regarding the new update available:

“I had the same problem as previously stated: failed partial patch and the About box saying I had 1.5 beta2, plus the “menu_HelpPopup_reportertoolmenu” bug.

All of this solved by manually downloading and installing with the provided link.

Now it’s working ok. All extensions working (many of them manually patched for this release).

It seems Automatic Update needs more “tweaking” than expected…

Keep with the great work!

I don’t know exactly who, but someone took my phrase out of context, and somehow, many online news:

Yahoo
InternetWeek
MacNewsWorld
LinuxInsider
Another One

and many others, stated it as a negative comment on Firefox, something I would never do. Maybe it has many things to improve, but as I’m not having enough time to cooperate with the development team, I have nothing to do but congratulate the entire team responsible for that piece of great software.

At least, I did state my frustration in this other comment:

“Well, the Automatic Update is working perfect now.

So every news site that published my comment some days ago can change that… It’s really annoying that they publish only my “negative” sentence…

Guys, keep the good work as always!

You have a “first line” fan here!

Mainly: Firefox IS the web browser. Having one installed by default on a OS do not count. If all users could be asked which one they prefer, I’d bet they’d choose Firefox.
