Dumb, pathetic... Where will Mozilla go with this stupid movement?
If they keep irking their users and then censoring the backlash, I can think of somewhere they are going on many PCs....

They went there a long time back on my machines. Firefox when it started was a breath of fresh air, for me it now stinks so bad I won't use it. Opera and IE9 are far and away better.
See:
IE 9 best option against Web-based malware attacks

Never tried Opera though.

For those who are having compatability issues.......
use, www.cometbird.com. This is almost same as firefox except it is one version behind so it can give more compatability with add ons..... :)

Who wanted a big Windows Phone anyway.  ;D
Exactly, I don't like that Metro interface at all and would never use it.

I'm quite willing to give Metro a try but don't think it's the only thing that should be available.
Probably a mix of both will end up as a good solution. Especially if you have a touch screen.
