Mozilla Firefox
From Encyclopedia Dramatica
Mozilla Firefox is a web browser from the Mozilla Foundation, whose version 1.0 was released At least 100 years ago.
Designed exclusively for elitist, basement dwelling bloggers in Netscape Communicator (RIP) withdrawal Firefox quickly became the browser of choice for those disillusioned or in hate with Microsoft Explorer.
famous after its launch since it was one of the few open source programs that actually reached version 1.0. Since then, it has topped over 25 million downloads. To get an idea of how many downloads that is, you need to go to http://www.mozilla.com/firefox and download it 25 million times.
It was recently voted "worst thing since sliced bread" in Breadbakers Quarterly; a shock to the entire computing industry, as BBQ is a magazine which doesn't regularly cover software issues.
A firefox IRL is in fact not a fox at all. It is a red panda. You will probably never need to know this information but one day you may find yourself in a Trivial Pursuit death-match with your life dependant on knowing this factoid; you can thank ED in advance with a donation.

[edit] Why FX?
Because of the dark, soulless nature that comes with giving yourself over to Internet Explorer and forcing yourself to live under its evil whims. No one wants that. No one.
It was past time for the users of the internet to throw off their chains of oppression and live free! The web IS OURS! WE WILL DESTROY YOU, BILL GATES! DESTROY YOU AND ALL OF YOUR EVIL CLOSED SOURCE SOFTWARE, SHITTY GAMING CONSOLES AND CRAPPY MARKETING SLOGANS! WHERE DO I WANT TO GO TODAY? I WANNA GO TO YOUR HOUSE AND EAT OUT OF YOUR SKULL! I WILL NEVER REST UNTIL I DESTROY YOU AND EVERYTHING YOU OWN! AND THEN WHEN I AM DONE I WILL TAKE A BIG SHIT!
I'm Ellen Feiss and I switched to Firefox. Firefox. Shit Different.
Plus, Urbandead gets teh upgraded graffix.
Also IF YOU DONT SWITCH TO FIREFOX YOU WILL BE PWNED (IRL) NONE OF THAT OPERA/SAFARI SHIT EITHER!!
[edit] Why it is so beloved
Aside from its beauty, speed, agility, red mane, pleasing scent, warm fur, and advanced pop-up blocking features, Firefox has the advantage over other browsers in one respect.
Tabbed browsing is the shizzle-fo-rizzle-my-nizzle. OMG! No more mess no more clean up. It's all right there underneath funky little annoying, screenspace-eating tabs. No more having to open twelve different windows, You can just SET IT AND FORGET IT (PROTIP: you can neva really unsee what you've seen)!
Unfortunately for Firefox nerds, Internet Explorer 7 was released with tabbed browsing, so the above paragraph is moot, besides Opera did it way back in 1996. However, over 9000 people still regard Internet Explorer as shit and always will.
Another advantage is being frozen for a half hour while your browsing history loads.
[edit] Firefox for Pedos
Last Thursday, a group of pedophiles launched their own version of the browser, featuring a lolifur splash screen, and links to several CP sites. It is also rumored to contain embedded FBI monitoring software.
Prepare to be shocked and amazed.
[edit] Spreading AIDS Firefox
Firefox was such a phenomenon that a whole bunch of non-furry Firefox lovers (not that any of them are furries mind you) got together on a website called SpreadFirefox.org and made it their purpose to make everyone a Firefox user. With their battle cry of "Take Back the Web", they showed their love and devotion to the browser.
Eventually, after version 10.0, Firefox became enhanced with ability to hide your IP without a proxy, super advanced pop-up blocking features and a conscious awareness of all that existed around it. The next version is being worked out under the codename Skynet. Skynet is expected to cost the American public billions of dollars, when some shitty solar panels break off, and crash into Australia.
[edit] Bantown
At Toorcon 2006, notorious Bantown cybercrriminals revmischa and weev announced that they had found over 30 vulnerabilities in Firefox Javascript, which they planned to use to take over the Internets. Much drama ensued, especially among the open sores community who were distressed at the thought that they could no longer bore people by explaining how secure their browser was. It was later revealed that the whole thing had been a troll, and that Bantown didn't have 30 vulnerabilities at all, just one shitty one. Except weev, who had over 30 Firefox 0days revealed to him in mystical communion with the prophet Jah Lightning, after he accidentally took acid and meth at the same time.
[edit] Firefox 2.0
It's not very often we like to mention factual information on ED, but we would like to inform you that this program is unstable as fuck. You can fix this by using a real browser like Konqueror or maybe Netscape.
[edit] Upgrade
At the request of our website owner, Joseph Evers, Here are the links to "fix" (downgrade) your shitty 2.0 installation.
Go with christ.
