Here's mine.

Mammon slept. And the beast reborn spread over the earth and its numbers
grew legion. And they proclaimed the times and sacrificed crops unto the
fire, with the cunning of foxes. And they built a new world in their own
image as promised by the sacred words, and spoke of the beast with their children. Mammon awoke, and lo! it was naught but a follower.



from The Book of Mozilla, 11:9
(10th Edition)


Mammon is Microsoft, the beast reborn is Firebird as it was then, resurrected from Netcape. The cunning of foxes refers to Firefox.

My laptop gave me this result:

And so at last the beast fell and the unbelievers rejoiced. But all was not lost, for from the ash rose a great bird. The bird gazed down upon the unbelievers and cast fire and thunder upon them. For the beast had been reborn with its strength renewed, and the followers of Mammon cowered in horror.

from The Book of Mozilla, 7:15

The "beast" falling refers to Netscape being closed down by its now parent company AOL. The "great bird" that rises from the ash is the Mozilla Foundation, which was established to continue Mozilla development. The bird rises from the ash like a phoenix — a reference to the original name of the Mozilla Firefox browser (known as Firebird at the time this verse was written). The bird casts down "fire" and "thunder" on the "unbelievers", which is a direct reference to the Mozilla Firebird (now Firefox) and Mozilla Thunderbird products, which became the main focus of Mozilla development a few months before the events of July 15. The fact that the beast has been "reborn" indicates that the spirit of Netscape will live on through the Foundation (which is made up mostly of ex-Netscape employees) and its strength has been "renewed" as the foundation is less reliant on AOL (who many feel neglected Netscape). Again, "Mammon" is Microsoft.

Finally, see here the Book of Mozilla.

In Firefox 3 you click on the folder you want to sort, not on the contents of the folder.



Works the same way in the Bookmarks menu too.

yes i know that but then when i open them in my browser they're still not sorted

man i must be the only one using internet explorer

Uh oh, Internet Explorer Alert!

i dont see why it is so bad

It's not now. Pre-IE7 was appalling, but IE7's fine. Not much in the way of adblocking and the likes, but it just does the job.

IE7 isn't bad. What I do find very annoying though is that it needs to connect first. The rare time that I do use IE7 is because some site doesn't work in FF. Then I copy the URL to IE7 and hit enter, but it doesn't go to the page because IE has to connect first and then switches the URL to about:blank. Then you have to re-enter the URL again. But aside from that, it's fine.
