Anything worth the cost of a missile, which can be located on the battlefield, will be shot at with missiles. If the US military is involved, then things, which are not worth the cost if a missile will also be shot at with missiles. -Sea Skimmer

Rogue, there are other benefits aside from security to use Firefox (most importantly tabbed browsing, unless you are a wimpy user who only keeps < 3 windows open at a time (then again, you are an AOL user. )
Post user agent so I don't have to bother making an OS poll too.

Right, right. OS depends entirely on where I am; work uses Win98 for the patron computers, NT for the office/circulation desk computers, and I've got WinXP at home and at school in the dorm. In the school computer labs I'm sometimes stuck browsing from a Mac; the rest of the time its all WinXP.
And the AOHell is not my fault. My parents did that, and there's nothing I can do about it.

You can use AOL to dial then minimize and use another browser for one .

Five years ago, I've also seen AOL physically damage a dialup modem from remote by forcibly installing a 'Security Update' two weeks into a free trial. To this day that computer cannot connect faster than 14400bps no matter what ISP is used (before it was a healthy 56000bps). It may have been quite a while back, but who's to say AOHell has stopped that practice? Shit, even M$N is better than AOL!

Yummy Firefox.
I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro's great stumbling block in his stride toward freedom is not the White Citizen's Counciler or the Ku Klux Klanner, but the white moderate, who is more devoted to "order" than to justice; who constantly says: "I agree with you in the goal you seek, but I cannot agree with your methods of direct action"; who paternalistically believes he can set the timetable for another man's freedom; who lives by a mythical concept of time and who constantly advises the Negro to wait for a "more convenient season."

Firefox is only a web browser, while Mozilla is a webrowser, mail client, IRC client, web page creation program, and about a billion and a half other things that the Mozilla people decided to cram in. Also, Mozilla's interface is essentially a clone of Netscape 4.x's, while Firefox has its own re-designed interface (which bears some similarities to IE's.) Firefox also has a metric buttload of extensions available for it, adding such features as mouse-gestures and ad-blocking.

I sometimes spoof my useragent string to "Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.0)" get into IE-only sites, though (the sites in question even reject the "Opera [en]" tacked on the end of Opera's own IE agent spoofing, so I have to use Proxomitron to intercept and change it to a "real" IE identifier as it goes out).

Hm. Well, I like the mail client... the rest of the stuff I don't need. I might try it out.
