Firefox adware

[gusl]

Firefox sucks, part II:

Now some AdWare got itself installed into my Firefox, so I can no longer do a Google Image Search.

UPDATE: it seemed to go away as soon as I typed "AdWare" on Google. Could it be intentional? In any case, Firefox is no longer safe!

FF wasn't that safe to start with, for example I still get an unwanted popup here and there. But in any case, it's safer than IE. Also, about your previous message on bugs in Firefox... There are hundreds of firefox bug reports submitted daily by users. I don't expect it to be possible to "fix" bugs that quickly, the mathematical odds given the report frequency. Take a look yourself before you submit any new bugs, I'm sure most people who are submitting don't even have a clue on searching bugzilla for previous identical reports:

https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/

However, it's still a good situation if important bugs get fixed on time, which is more than I can say about IE, especially since FF development is not done by a big corporation.

Safer than Firefox and IE: Opera! Or have you tried that one out already? :)

I used to use Opera back in 2001(?)... so I'm giving it another try now. Dankje.

Ideally, I would give each window a name, according to my browsing goals... and each tab would be a subgoal. I lose a lot of time trying to find windows/tabs because they're not labelled by me.

That sounds to me like you need to create your own browser...
naming windows? Although, the FireSomething plugin of FF would be able to do that for you... ;-)
