Then don't use Firefox.
IE8 is the way to go.

For surfing the Net, Linux is the way to go. If you're forced by your
own stupidity or your boss' stupidity to use Windows, Google Chrome is
the way to go with incognito feature.

Death surfs with both.
IE8 in Windows, Firefox in Linux.
Hasn't really noticed any difference.
Some menus in Linux FF don't render properly, but no real biggy.

My AV finds nothing more distructive than cookies in Windows.

How old the mistake is makes it less of a mistake? Unlike you, I care
about people and posted this as a public service. All you want to do is
pretend you're better than others and get into a fight.

Just curious, what does a retiree like you need seven computers for?
Bragging rights?

Sorry but I've tried chrome and it is a real POS. I guess that means you
must really like it right?
You're so GD afraid of being infected cause that is all you talk about
but you've never answered the one question you've been asked so many
times before...just WTF do you surf that makes you so paranoid huh?

Charging people money to install free software isn't a real business.
Its more like stealing.

LOL! Sure you do...that's why you're a spamming, trolling linturd liar
who has been asked by everyone in every non-moderated ng to STFU and get
lost and who has been thrown out of or barred from posting in moderated ngs.
Sure you care about others. YOU ARE A GD SICK POS LIAR!
Oops!

Better than others at what?
You have no business being in here, troll.

Just curious, what does a retiree like you need seven computers for?


Who said I was retired?

Bragging rights?

Your opinion.

It's a browser for crying out loud.

You're so GD afraid of being infected cause that is all you talk about
but you've never answered the one question you've been asked so many
times before...just WTF do you surf that makes you so paranoid huh?


You're an idiot. Anyone can get infected by clicking on what appears to
be what you're looking for with a Google search. Have you always been
this clueless regarding the Internet?

Charging someone to do something for them is a standard business
practice since the ****ing stone age, moron.

My real business is not computer related.

No, they didn't. They "fixed" it by making it possible to uninstall the
plug in from Firefox. Previous to that, it was not uninstallable.


Unlike you, I care
about people and posted this as a public service.

Only by moronic windroids like you and the nymshifter.

and who has been thrown out of or barred from posting in moderated
ngs.


I have never been thrown out of any "ng".

Sure you care about others. YOU ARE A GD SICK POS LIAR!
Oops!


Letting people know about a vulnerability is caring. Lying like you do
is just sick.


All you want to do is
pretend you're better than others and get into a fight.


Better than others at what?


Everything.

You have no business being in here, troll.


You have no business being *anywhere*.


Just curious, what does a retiree like you need seven computers for?

You did.

Answer the question if you can without backpedaling.

That is not the point. Users that wish to use Firefox should be able
to do so without any interference, users that wish to use IE8 should
be able to do the same.
