By the way, for those of you who don't hang out in #n00bstories IRC, this discussion took place there as well, and Aircraftkiller has also revealed that "open source is garbage".

"Open source is garbage because it gives assclowns like jonwil the excuse they need to steal code from people."
Try quoting it all next time, thanks.
Oh, and for people that say "saved sessions are only useful when your browser crashes", that is total bullshit. What happens if you forget a URL when you restart your computer, or shut down the browser? What if your computer crashes? Opera saves the sessions properly, without the bugs that Firefuck has with that "extension", and loads all of those websites in a moment's notice upon starting the browser.
I have... 14 websites that Opera loads each time it starts, and it saves me about five minutes of having to enter each URL into a new window each day I start the system. But of course, saving time doesn't matter... It only matters when you promote Firefuck.

Which is all well and good if that's the way you choose to browse websites. Not everyone does it that way (I don't - the 10 or so sites I visit first thing daily I do sequentially)
You really seem to have trouble with the whole "personal preference" thing. Anything that isn't "yours" is not just wrong, but appears to be some kind of abomination in your eyes, and has to be derided at every opportunity.
That's just plain...weird.
I prefer Firefox over other browsers. It doesn't mean I go round saying how awful "Internet Exploder" and "Crapera" are.
I prefer 3D Studio over other modelling packages. It doesn't mean I go round saying how awful "XShIte" and "Mayass" are.
I prefer UE3 over other 3D engines. It doesn't mean I go round saying how awful Source and whatever the BF2 engine is called are.
(My apologies - I couldn't think of really lame names for those two)
Maybe it's just me. I really can't comprehend the level of fanaticism you have over your own personal preferences.

I'm not having any problems with this extension I installed... it's working as it's supposed to.
And I did NOT misquote you:
[17:54:58] [+Aircraftkiller]: [[07:50:pm]] <+Aircraftkiller> Open source is garbage
[17:54:58] [+Aircraftkiller]: That's all I said
You also said:
[17:50:50] [+Aircraftkiller]: Open source gives assclowns like jonwil excuses to cheat people out of credit for the things they've made
However, once again you show how uneducated you are on this subject because what you don't like isn't "open source" software as a whole, but the GPL license which is one of several licenses available for open source software. This particular one aims to prevent people from profiting from someone else's open source software. It's the same as saying you don't like all food because some food is released in a green package and you don't like the color green.
Overall it doesn't matter. Everyone but you can see that you are grasping at straws to support a weak argument. You can't handle being proven wrong so you'll continue to pull stuff, essentially from your ass, to support an argument because you could never just "stand corrected" on something.
I think perhaps your main problem is that you dislike the "religion" and "fanboyism" attached to this browser. Some people have an unnatural obsession with it, like this little piece of software is the creation of the Lord God himself. I think that's ridiculous. I was pretty happy with IE for years and years and just in the last couple of months, I decided I was going to try Firefox. I told myself I would give it the good college try. I would download all the extensions and customizations I wanted, and really use the thing. I even changed my Quick Launch icon to the Internet Explorer "e" symbol to help ease my transition into the unfamiliar. And, well, I liked it. And if someone asks for a referral for a browser, I'm going to refer this one. Just as I can refer people to several other types of programs that I use every day.
I'm the bawss.

Firefox won everything in the chart that mattered except for startup memory requirement and java benchmark.
And EVEN THEN, the chart is 6 to 8 Firefox's lead.
And of course there's throughput, where Firefox proves much better than Opera. Then, without bothering to determine what it was, the author of your site passes it off as "my setup", whatever that means.
I have never used Thunderbird or Opera e-mail, and so I have no opinion on them.
But really, both Opera and Firefox are perfectly legitimate web browsers, and no one can go wrong with either one. The only bad browsers are more or less Internet Explorer and Netscape Navigator/Communicator/whatever it is.
EDIT: Crimson brings up an interesting point...

ACK, do you have any reason at all to believe that the Clintonites trashed the White House right before they left it to George W. Bush?
Of course you don't, but since you can't stand to acknowledge it, you're going to avoid my post like the plague now.
"To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public." -- Theodore Roosevelt (1918)
"The danger to political dissent is acute where the Government attempts to act under so vague a concept as the power to protect "domestic security." Given the difficulty of defining the domestic security interest, the danger of abuse in acting to protect that interest becomes apparent. --U.S. Supreme Court decision (407 U.S. 297 (1972)

Thanks to Firefox's Adblock extension, I can block ANY ads from ANY website I visit frequently. This includes flash ads and iFrames.

Why do you need an ad-blocker extension for Firefox when it already comes with an ad-blocker built in?

And what's better is that you can completely block any ads coming from a certain advertiser by adding this after the main URL of the advertiser: *

I think we have a right and a responsibility to block ANNOYING ads like those flashy epileptic-fit inducing ones, pornography (if you're not into seeing ads for it at the time), sites who have more ads than content, basically anyone who defiles the intended use. Those who intelligently blend google ads or other non-annoying ads into their site are more deserving of having those ads actually displayed.
I'm the bawss.

I was told that extension existed but I hadn't yet found it. A 2 second download and a Firefox restart later, and I have it.
