Problems for FireFox?
(March 9, 2005) 
No, it's not a vulnerability for FireFox, it has to do with the lack of active FireFox developers. There is a group of six working on the project, but 4 of them are AWOL (absence without leave). So only 2 remain, and only one of them makes code reviews. You can say that the FireFox program is heavily undermanned. Mike Conner, one of the developers of FireFox have focused on this problem.
Read it at the external site...
It's a bad period for FireFox to deal with this program, the program is still gaining popularity, but when no one is on the developing site, the program can lose popularity when patches or updates are needed.
The dates on the roadmap for FireFox 2.0 could be delayed. Conner is not optimistic for the future, however a solution could be to take some developers from the Mozilla Foundation, we hope that they will find a solution soon.

Written by Jeff Whitfield on March 11, 2005Exactly how is it that Firefox is crap? Instead of merely saying it's crap and leave it at that...why not try and leave examples as to how it is so. You say 'long live IE'...umm...why? IE is riddled with problems, chief...namely in it's use of ...
That is good news
Written by bollax bollax on March 11, 2005I was so happy when I read that Firefox might not be around for much longer as no-one was developing it. It's crap, it should never have been released in the first place. You need decent internet browsers on the market not the useless pile of shite ...
