Please excuse me readers, the wording on the second line of my condemnation of IE is slanted against Firefox when it should have been in praise. Should I prepare for everlasting burning?

I am a mini-stroke oldie who recently discovered the web. Stumbled into these informative pages and found I have lots of disgruntled Firefox friends. Wanting to learn quickly, I soon realised opportunistic cretins were taking my money to let me know I was the dickhead. This is offensive on a couple of counts, so I go without until I solve a problem.
I got the shits of Yahoo and friends taking over the system when I installed their oft not needed crap. Their vomit is the greatest virus, the worst bug; and to retain my sanity, I instinctively avoid them as I do a blatant cougher spewing vermin at every open blast. Allowing one innocent application to enter my computer is taken as carte blanche to pollute and destroy my set-up. Theirs’ is the worst virus. Was distracted by incessant password demands not only to get to my mail, but even Firefox stuff. When I set upon removing ‘IE’ pollutants, was sent to Coventry. The bastards severed all Firefox links and I was in the netherlands for almost three days until I circumvented their nastiness. That was when I learnt to use their own browser for mail and not a far more gentler opposition. In my tech. ignorance, I didn’t realise it was incumbent upon me to email under their banner or type my password on every mail visit. It’s us V them, brothers and sisters.

It may not have been a wise move in a serious argument, but it’s absolutely perfect when writing for the AdBlock/Digg crowd. Back when I wrote this post in 2007 I was swimming in traffic within hours, and it’s still one of my most-viewed pages here.

On one hand, I got a lot of exposure. On the other, I’m not too proud of the post. My writing and rhetorical skills have improved greatly since, and I sometimes wonder if I could have done better.

“# “Blocking FireFox is the only alternative.” No, shutting up is a good alternative…”

What a great way to undermine your own thesis. Bravo.

Please, next time, take a class in logical fallacies, you’ll see how you destroyed your credibility with that one-liner.

Don't celebrate yet. It's not the most popular browser by any stretch. W3School's readers are much more tech-savvy than your garden-variety computer user. And corporate networks largely still run IE. Sad, but true. IE still has at least 70% of the market.

Ha ha ha! Today, in 2009, WhyFirefoxIsBlocked.com website is CLOSED.

BTW, W3Schools.com Browser Statistics claims, that Firefox (at last!) IS THE MOST POPULAR BROWSER in the world! Firefox market share is bigger than IE6+IE7+IE8:

You can easily change browser identity (aka User Agent)
Please take a look here and share the knowledge

How about boycott the websites that block FireFox? That should teach them a good lesson.

Can somebody put a list of websites that block FF?
