blowing off steam - FIrefox 3: 'Failed to open page'

Hello! You have stumbled upon the tumblelog of Tobias. I work in the tech industry with users at all levels. The problem that I see every user struggling with is making technology more "useful tool" and "less god-awful hinderance." Here I address issues that I see as adding to the hinderance that is computers and the web. These articles are generally not nice. Enjoy!

FIrefox 3: 'Failed to open page'

I am unapologetically anti-Firefox. I know it is hugely unpopular to admit to using Safari, but it makes me happy. I use other browsers, but I just really don’t like Firefox. Extensions look useful but they suffer when browser updates invariably break them. And if I wanted a PC-like experience, I would open Opera.

When I saw the World Record announcement, all I could think was, “I bet Twitter is down”. Then I thought, “they are going to crash hard”. But they are assuring success with the masses; the experience can’t get any worse.

Thanks Gruber.
