With a 5% share, Creating XPCOM Components finished in last place. On Monday, the Mozilla Foundation released the newest Mozilla Firebird version, under the new name Firefox.

Where's the "who cares?" option? ;) It's here: http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic.php?t=52292 We've decided to change the name of the browser every time we open a new window. ;) You can exercise that option by keeping quiet :). jason Let's analyze some associations people will have with the new name: FireFox = "Red" "Panda" Red -> communism Panda -> China -> Communism This name will therefore likely only serve to further the misconception that OSS in unsuited for our capitalistic society. :( Also, the names of the most popuar programs SAY SOMTHING ABOUT THE PROGRAM (Internet Explorer, Word, Powerpoint, WordPerfect, Netscape Navigator, Mozilla Browser, Lotus Organizer, even "Linux"). I guess there are things that the "Foundation" hasn't learned yet. IT DOES MATTER, if we are to gain any semblance of a significant market share. Your communism crap is tired. I could break your name down into all sorts of silly associations, but I won't. Stop trying to make something out of nothing. jason Who is this idi^H^H^H person and why is he here instead of making up conspiracies about the Mars rovers or something?
