Rest assured, the evil empire is plotting day and night
to destroy it, somehow. I wouldn't put it past them to
write some innocuous viruses, the come out with huge
press releases from paid agents to declare it "unsafe".

I run the Linspire flavor of Linux and have been usings Firefoxes core
program Mozilla for almost 2 years now. No problems whatsoever. If you
truly love Firefox... Upgrade to Mozilla which is Firefox, Thunderbird,
an html editor, and a beta scheduling application (I can't remember
their stand-alone names) all rolled up into one smooth program.
They are flawless in linux they should be at least half as good in winblows.

half as good? what's harder - to stand on the deck of a stable ship, or
one that pitches about crazily before sinking?

I believe the little devils have found a way to make pop-ups happen
again under Firefox. There's one that leads you to believe that your
OS may need fixing. Ad-Aware denied all knowledge of it, so I'm
assuming it's an example of this latest development.

I haven't seen a pop-up in at least a year. Must be windows.

The good thing about Firefox is that it isn't as, um, "intimate" with
Windows as IE is. That makes it safer to use.
The only websites where I've ever had trouble with Firefox are Microsoft
websites. Huge surprise there.
