Default Firefox launches with a kiwi boost

I read this in the computerworld this morning Kall, and thought you might be interested.

Oooh sweet!

Tomorrow is the release.

I think my link has referred 9 or 10 people to Firefox.

hehe i'm too scared to try...

haha, actually i went to, but My flatmate does work on the computer I use at home for someoen else,a dn all the clients use internet explorer to run the web based asset management thing, and so he reckons he needs it to test stuff, and he's worried it will upset IE, and so I'm happy for him to leave it...

I mean his computer geekiness is a whole level or three above mine...

He's not that far above you if he's worried installing firefox will upset IE. In fact, it sounds like he's a level or two below you in common-freakin-sense.

Firefox is the best web browser out there, i don't know why you would use anything else, unless you can't be bothered, then its fair enough...

But are you? Are you happy? It must be a lonely browser, each page it's own window, no closely cuddled tabs, no correct stylesheet support.
