Yawn, it's only what I've been saying about Firefox since the begining. It's nice to see some people are actually doing the research and not talking out their ass or Firefox propaganda pages.
Shut up before I go back in time 2 weeks and release WMF evilness on you (and at least half the forum) <3
Shoulda keylogged all your boxen >:O

Alot of stuff on that page is crap too...
"Firefox is Faster than Internet Explorer"
Alot of Internet Explorer's resources are already cached when the system is booted
"Firefox Achieved 10% Market Share in 2005"
There's no way to accurately guage that... counting User Agents from website logs will only give you an approximation (and certain types of sites attract different types of browser, e.g. a linux-related site would definitely have a higher FF-usage than MySpace)
Firefox is anything but Secure with multiple unpatched vulnerabilities allowing exposure of sensitive data to local users.
Patches/Updates are actually RELEASED for problems, instead of you having to wait for "Patch Tuesday" (or in the case of the forementioned WMF exploit, having to wait over a week for an official patch when your gibsons can be hijacked just by you viewing an image). Local users getting data is far less serious that someone else being able to remotely run code on your boxen.
Firefox is a solution to spyware
"This is very misleading and can lull users into a false sense of security. Use Secure XP to properly secure your system and get a REAL solution to Spyware. Firefox is nothing more than a Web Browser."
No, not running your web browser on an admin account is probably a better start, athough using a browser without like ActiveX (which is still fully enabled by default) helps a tremendous deal as well. The lack of serious 0-day exploits in Firefox so far also helps a bit.
"Firefox fully support W3C Standards"
I can't name 1 browser out now that fully supports EVERY standard... but at least FF makes more of an attempt that some other browsers. That coincides with the next point as well...
Reality - 15% of web sites aren't completely compatible with Firefox.
Firefox isn't the issue here, retarded webmasters with nub skillz who use a browser that attempts to improperly formatted code in a somewhat reasonable fashion are to blame. Just because 99% of websites don't make an attempt to follow web standards doesn't mean a browser that does make somewhat of an attempt to follow them is "not compatible". It's called "the webmaster is a ****ing retard" and shouldn't be allowed to write code. He should uninstall Photoshop, ImageReady and Dreamweaver and go hang himself with a cat-5 cable. (or bust out notepad/vi and learn html)

lol and what a douche, the XHTML/CSS validation links at the bottom of his page:

He fails to have any credibility in my eyes now =p he fails at internets
(disclaimer: I am not a firefox fanboy, I'm a fan of flaming idiots who think they have leet technical skills)
