whiny ass firefox users, grow up Options

[*[2]Nekked*]

im just gonna paste what i put on some other forum i found in someones sig here.. i think it was marias..

but yeah it annoys me when people complain about sites that arent compatible with your browser. you CHOSE that browser, not them, so quit your bitching.

you have the choice of using any browser you want. you picked mozilla/firefox. the others chose IE. remember that it was your choice. and its their choice how they want to code something. if it doesnt happen to be compatible with your browser... well then dont complain. no ones telling you to look at them. im sorry but it annoys me when firefox users whine about ie users. its a free world, and people are free to choose whichever browser they want, and however they want to code their sites. just because you happen to have a site doesnt make you a "professional" nor does is mean you want to be a "professional" or even claim to be. take my sites for example... both of them arent compatible with firefox. ive had a lot of people complain to me about it. if you think its annoying that our sites dont work with your browser, think of how annoying it is to have a bunch of people complain to you about it, when they were the ones that chose to access that website. no ones forcing them to.

oh and scrollbars.. i use ie. the majority of the world uses ie. yes firefox is growing, but its still in beta. ie will be the majority browser for a while. since im using ie, then using scrollbar style tags sorta makes sense, doesnt it? if you use firefox, then fine you dont have to use it. thats your perrogative.

im not trying to be a b*tch or anything, but people should really look at both sides. i realize its annoying for you to look at sites that dont work with firefox. a lot of people dont even know what firefox is. mozilla hasnt been around as long as IE has, and people are still getting used to it.

so what im trying to say is just give people a break.

i'd like to add that just because u didnt take the time to make it compatible with firefox, doesnt make you stupid, or lazy. grow up.

Greetings!!

first it was da jockers.. now dis thingy?! geez!! wat's next?!

CHEERS CB!!

[capsule]

well...what i do to kinda resolve that issue is while i use firefox, i also leave an IE browser open so whenever im on a site that doesnt seem to work with firefox, i copy n paste the URL, switch to IE, and load it from there...(and switch back after im done with that page). either that, or try fixing firefox yourself if you got such a major deal with it....or just give mozilla some time to fix up w/e problems they have.

[queen]

most of the whiners i see don't even care about browser compatibility... they whine simply out of dislike for microsoft. ;o losers ;x

its not really problems with firefox... ie doesnt really conform with standards, and a lot of codes people use..well..they shouldnt be using it. but then again, i dont see why those should be the standards if the majority browser is ie. ie should in turn, set the standards.

[MeanBastard]

I'm only using firefox becuase my IE sucks. So much spyware on it.

haha troo. just dont whine about sites that arent compatible with your browser

[xolilkatie]

uhh.. thank you!!
People think that you should change everything to be compatible with firefox

yeah, that's what i do too. and i agree, people shouldn't complain about sites that aren't compatible with their browser.

[inlonelinessidie]

Hey I use FireFox and I don't complain. I believe the reason people complain is because good web designers (pros, etc.) should make sites the are compatible with all browsers.

[*[2]Nekked*]

some designers just dont care. i mean people who arent pros. like me.

[Mireh]

*clap**clap*

Thankyou.

I'm freakin tired of people saying IE has a crap load of spyware on it. STFU

over the freaking years i've been on Windows i have never gotten spyware even with those stupid auto installers. When something asks you if u want to install something press NO unless you know what it wants to install. If you can afford it get Ad-Aware SE PRO/PLUS so you can run ad-watch it disables any installer from ever popping up. Another option you can use is getta firewall that will block those installers, like Outpost.

k then good for you. lol

serpie ;o

anyway,

I'm freakin tired of people saying IE has a crap load of spyware on it. STFU

my computer got spyware because of the pop up ads. yes, you can still get spyware from firefox, but it's unlikly.

i know people can pick what browser, but i think its better to go with firefox. it doesnt display code errors and if your site works in firefox, it works in pretty much any other browser. there so much firefox can do that IE can't. 101 things mozilla can do that ie can't

and if you are not good at coding, validate!

[*[2]Nekked*]

thats your choice and your opinion. just dont whine when u see sites that arent compatible with your browser. thats all im sayin

[gerundio]

i use firefox... i don't whine

lol...yea, i gotta agree on this....

i think its just cause people installed stuff they wouldnt expect to have spyware or w/e installed (that one place that offered ie skins [hotbar or something like that]..that was a big one before it got shut down)....and of course, u got those people venturing in warez sites and wondering why they got sh*t piled up all over their IE..

[captured_serenit...]

that's so right trish...i pat you on the back...

na... i have spy bot search and destroy and adware se and a mcafee firewall and **** still gets through.

popups i normally get wit IE don't show up when I use firefox. and firefox is faster too.

[*[2]Nekked*]

um hmm... maybe if u stopped going to porn sites all the time and dling illegal software u wouldnt get so much adware

[swe3txprincesz]

all my layouts for my sites are for i.e. im'e not sure if it works in other browsers becuase i only have ie and i dont think i've heard of firefox...

[ghjgfkgfk]

popups i normally get wit IE don't show up when I use firefox. and firefox is faster too. 

when i first downloaded firefox, it was slower than ie ;o, bit now it's all good.

i got sypwear from going to sites with too many pop ups (i did not intend for it). i didn't download anything.

oh and on serpie somone repiled to your reply:

I disagree. It's not directly about the browsers - it's about correct coding. Mozilla only accepts correct coding. So people who only accept ie are saying "I can't be bothered to code my site properly"

i would have to agree with them on that.

if you still dont know what firefox is:

so true! iuse i.e its much better for me. i once change to avant cuz of the pop upas, but just dig into your money and get a virus/spyware/ad sopper.

what r u sayin? maybe i dont go to porn sites... and i def dont dload illegal ****.

u say that firefox users are whining... im not whining u are.

[*[2]Nekked*]

im explaining how most people get adware these days. im not whining and i never meant you specifically. dont be a smartass, cuz im really in a bad mood today.

edit:// i never said anyone on this board was whining. if u dont care about sites that dont work with your browser, then kudos to you. im not talking about you so dont get all offended.

[gerundio]

Nekked,Aug 23 2004, 2:39 PM] dont be a smartass, cuz im really in a bad mood today.

um ok. ive been in a bad mood for 2 months so dont act like i care.

[JlIaTMK]

i really dont understand the difference between firefox and ie.... oh well

[*[2]Nekked*]

um ok. ive been in a bad mood for 2 months so dont act like i care.

you're the one attacking me because u took this personally. i never said YOU specifically. jeez, get over it. oh and im just warning you not to get on my bad side today because i'll just warn your ass n suspend you. i dont care.

[*tweeak*]

[inlonelinessidie]

Hahaha. Yeah it's a good browser, it's got a built in ad blocker thing.

LOL, I don't know what firefox is either.. but I just download the google taskbar... it has a pop-up blocker... but i'll go check it out right now...

[dani41790]

yea i agree with [2]Nekked! fricken people with a different browser than me annoyin me about how my some stuff on my site are weird and repeats or stuff like that, and that i should change it and stuff. wth i dont care if doesn work for them. its not like i know them so y should i have to change stuff on my site who have only been to my site like 2 times. besides none of my friends have the same browser as them so why should i bother changing stuff on my site for them. nobody said they had to visit my site anyway

[heyyfrankie]

i don't like people to complain at all. espcially when they complain about browser compatibility.

lol...i dont think its impossible to have an xanga (i hope you're referring to an xanga and not a personal homepage) layout built to work with firefox AND ie...i should try that sometime (that is...if its possible)...that way, firefox users wont b*tch bout screwy webpages....

[capsule]

i think IE is the best browser EVER but the only thing that firefox has that i really want on IE is the tabbed windows ... ive got so many windows opened up in IE i loose track of everything

theres a program you can get that lets you tab windows in IE...i think its called "MyIE2" or somethin like that...

the only thing that firefox has isn't just tabbed windows....much faster for one....and yet here they are, f-users still complainin...lame

IE should not set standards. They are called standards for a simple reason; that being that EVERY browser can view the site.

Have fun with your stupid spyware. By the way, its spelled Naked, not nekked.

i spell it this way for a reason sweety. i dont advise trying to piss me off today, because i am really not in the mood.

btw, you dont get spyware if you're careful. ive never gotten spyware on this computer for 4 years.

[*kryogenix*]

I use Mozilla. I don't really mind when some things don't work in Mozilla because their proprietary to microsoft IE. But, I do get angry when some sites deny access to anyone but IE users. I was going to the yahooligan's tv section (they have the old mario and LOZ episodes), and I was shocked that my browser was denied access. I tried switching my user agent to IE (hehehe), but still, the same "Your browser doesn't meet the requirements" sign came up. So I contacted yahoo. And they said something like:

Thank you for contacting yahoo support. The feature you mentioned is no longer available or supported by Yahoo. Thank you for your concern.

At first, I was pretty sad, because then I wouldn't be able to watch my cartoons anymore, but then I got curious. I checked the Yahooligans! TV section and the cartoons were still there! They flat out lied to me!

So I'm trying not to use Yahoo!'s services anymore.

[/rant]

[cornflakes]

Yea yahoo does that also with Opera. Yahoo doesn't even have the <body> tag. Nor does it comply with the w3c standards.

[Counting]

Huzzah. :D

[*liquidize*]

firefox has been working great for me...iono wtf you guys are talking about

[shawty_redd]

i use both mozilla and ie
no problesm for me

[*[2]Nekked*]

we arent saying theres anything wrong with it..

[cornflakes]

The resistance is growing ^_^

[*kryogenix*]

exactly. let's boycott yahoo, until they comply with the w3c standards.

[*tweeak*]

exactly. let's boycott yahoo, until they comply with the w3c standards.

i use ie and yahoo for email so i really have no reason to boycott them

[*kryogenix*]

i use ie and yahoo for email so i really have no reason to boycott them

i use IE too, but that's not the point. the point is, they should be making their websites coply to the w3c standards, but they aren't. so, if a boycott is organized, there will be bad press surrounding yahoo, pressuring them into fixing up their websites.

[imm]

Wait....Are Mozilla and Firefox the same? Cause I use Netscape and I know it's Mozillla. Whoa. *confuzzled* As for me, I don't really care if I can't see scrollbars and such cause my IE is really really really jacked up. Anywho, I applaud you.
