It seems to have been hastily-pasted boilerplate from other things where they'd want to grab a screenshot or two to show their toys off, not any kind of plot to own everything written.

Firefox still maintains the best overall compatibility and stability for me of any browser I've tried. I'm not really into the "dumbed down" approach of Chrome and if I had to switch away from Firefox, I would pick Safari over Chrome.
I agree that the "magic bar" in Firefox is a bit of a pig though.

to be honest, i don't use any extensions, or other things. speed is all that matters.
chrome/firefox/safari are all good browsers, and i don't mind using any of them.
i use chrome, simply because it's faster for me, that is all.
i hope all the browsers stay around, diversity is a good thing.
thanks,

IE user here... but just in case I also have Firefox installed.
Never had problems with updated IE's.

1. Firefox
2. Internet Explorer
3. Chrome
I tried Chrome when it first come out and I was a bit disappointed, but in the end I´m ok with any of these browsers as they´re not that different. For someone who grew up using Netscape Navigator they´re all good, the big difference for me is the right click menu from Firefox that rocks, but I bet Chrome will eventually get better.

I use firefox currently. IE just feels clumsy to me by comparison. I don't mind safari or chrome though. Ultimately if firefox dies then I'll switch to something else. So what? Google, Microsoft and Apple may be in a battle to control the internet but I still use all 3 of their stuff (and yeah, I think it's dumb to leave Apple out of the browser war given that they've sold 50million iphones).

I hate Chrome and IE , Firefox is the only way to go for me. If it goes away I will be ultra pissed
I find it hilarious that so many say "I use IE, but it's okay because I know what I'm doing and keep it updated." This has nothing to do with your competence - your updates come as late as a *month* after holes are found, and there are always more holes to be found, so even if you're the modern god of Internet porn you're still using a piece of software that has more holes than an Iraqi whore house.

But should I care that much for those holes if I browse in a safe way?
I don't have your computing skills, but I reckon I never got any malware for the sole reason I was with IE.
Hell I don't even recall having any for the last year or two.
edit : " [...] so even if you're the modern god of Internet porn you're still using a piece of software that has more holes than an Iraqi whore house." Goddamn, your humour makes me laugh at each sarcastic sentence.

There is no such thing as 'browsing in a safe way' with that many holes - don't get me wrong, everything will have some issues, but other browsers have a far better track record of fixing holes quickly, and the nature of free software makes it even easier to find problems *before* they're exploited.
Staying on top of MS patches simply is not enough - it's good that you've avoided issues so far, but consider yourself lucky and don't count on that luck to continue.

I like firefox, as some have stated, I keep going back to it. I have flirted with chrome, its a nice speedy little browser but theres just something that puts me off about it. I like that Mozilla is changing the way they update it, seems more logical considering major code revisions now take longer being its so big.
As JBroll said, patching is great but there is alot of time between 0day and the patch for it. Sandboxing your browser can help provide a little more protection than patching alone

I've been using Chrome for a lot of things, but I'll still keep Firefox open for mail (since I love FireGPG and a few other extensions that I need for such nonsense) and other things that require discretion.
