InformationWeek > Browsers > Firefox Users Sound Off: Fix Those Bugs! > June 8, 2005: "'If there's a way to install just the patch or update, then it's well hidden in the instructions. Not a big deal for those of us with broadband connections, but I feel sympathy for those forced to use dial-up.' He added, 'It's very easy for the rabid supporters of Firefox to say, 'Well, if you're having problems, just do such-and-so. That'll take care of it.' My only response is that I use a browser to surf the World Wide Web, not to provide another use of my time. If the darned thing doesn't work properly 'out of the box,' then I'll not use it. Case closed.'"
Firefox groupies, like some MAC heads, are such weenies. You can't talk to them about actual issues unless you first kiss the golden spot in just the right way. They're today's "He-man Woman Haters Club".

Firefox shouldn't suck, yet it does. It should be a boon, yet it's a distrction.
Firefox does NOT process embedded media code correctly. And there are no fixes - other than to have ALL SURFERS install and fiddle with the settings of various work-arounds.
Firefox nazis like to point out that the "embed" function is not "legal HTML code" and therefore Firefox is not to blame. Well, fuck those assholes. Thousands of webpages use the embed command and in IE they work correctly - even sloppy code will pass through the Gates machine without burping. Why? Because IE knows its mission: present webpages. Firefox is for fleshy little wimps and convergent thinkers that want you to love their "superior" design.
I have given up trying to find the solution to the Firefox embed fiasco. You should too.
Besides, my wepages are far too cool for Firefox.
