My thoughts on…Firefox Parties

October 26th 2006 -

If you’re a longtime reader of my blog, then you know of my unnatural love for the world’s best browser, Mozilla Firefox. The latest version, Firefox 2, was released yesterday (obviously a response to IE7), and you know I’ve gotta get my hands on it. But Mozilla is doing something that will make me and my fellow Firefox users love the browser even more. They’re celebrating the launch this weekend, and are encouraging users all over the world to throw their own parties. The response has been great, with 584 parties thus far, with 4777 partygoers in countries worldwide. Here’s the party map.

Even Jamaican users are joining in. “Digerati” plans to throw the “TJ Firefox Bash.” I’m not sure of the venue, but I plan to be there. Wonder how it’ll be like? Surely there’ll be Firefox T-shirts, but what else? Firefox drinks perhaps? “Sex on the Server”, “Flaming Bill Gates”? What about party banter? “I hate IE.” “Really? I hate IE too”. “Man that Fasterfox extension is off the heezy”. “Don’t worry baby, I’ve got anti-phishing protection”. Should be interesting. And strangely enough, the IE team sent the Firefox team a cake to celebrate the release. You know that thing’s laced with poison, right? Kudos to Mozilla for remembering their open source roots, despite all their success.

P.S. This is my 200th post! Thanks to my loyal readers for sticking with me thus far. And to show my appreciation, I will read and comment on the blogs of all those who comment here. It would be a nice gesture if you invited some of your readers to visit my blog.

   enjoy the party. I only use Firefox when I have trouble loading IE. A few sites still won’t allow it to load so I can’t be bothered with the switching. Never had a problem with it though so good luck to them.

   Are you using FF2 yet? I’d like to wait to hear how it’s going before I try it out. I’ve been happy with FF for so long I can’t remember when I switched over!

    Congratulations on your 200th post! I may have commented here once or twice before, although I often don’t take the time because I want to continue surfing. You have an interesting blog. By the way, I use Internet Explorer, but I can see why Firefox users are enthusiasts. If you leave a comment on my blog, promise to come back once in a while after that, and I’ll do the same!
