FIRST
How original.
OOHHH! I’M FIRST AND A HALF!!1!!!1!
First - pre-adolescent twat.
Who gives a shit about who is first? If you don’t like it, ignore it.
“first” posting will never go away. it is a staple of the failblog comment community
me caring fail
Last!
omfg second
Guys, that’s not exactly a comment.
So, firefox 3 doesn’t work? Awesome.
Well it confirms that IE6 doesn’t work…
They’ve also fixed the 2.0.0.14 glitch.
Internet Explorer is a series of bugs and errors, it’s not a web browser program. At least it’s better than Vista, which if it was a boat would be made out of sponge.
IE is responsible for planetary deforestation. All the HTML/CSS/web design books in the world use twice as many trees as they need to, because exactly half the words in the text are always “…except in Internet Explorer 6, which is broken. As usual.”
Its more likely that whomever took that screen capture is running a mac
with a less than new operating system, in which case firefox three wouldnt be the
one he would download, it would be 2.0.0.14, the older one that will run on a
OS x 10.3.x system. blerg
no. you are just plain stupid, it was windows.
Moseses,
Mac OS hasn’t had a port of IE for quite some time…
OMFG!!! have you ever used a mac?! it looks nothing like that! >_>
the windows and bars and things in mac look very diffrent to the blue bars and windows of a pc. >_<
well, seing as it says 2.0.0.14 for MAC OS X…..
(although the first pic was in windows, the second was a mac)
When I first installed FF3 on Windows, I got the “you have installed 2.0.0.14″ message. I still get it with FF3.0.1 patches
i made the mistake of getting a computor with a virus, to remove the ivrus i have to uninstall the software it came with. ie vista.
Third
First off; nobody cares if you’re first or second or watever, go kill yourself.
Second, does anyone else find it deliciously ironic that the “failpage” is showing on IE?
No..
Ha.
I think you’ll find I’m better than you.
By 3 places.
kiss, kiss treacle.
xx
you FAIL at chillin my friend…
duhhhhhh they are tryin to download Firefox
i still have to say Firefox ftw
you must fail at life to want to care about that.
and yes, ie is terrible.
as you are.
Wow, third…wait, why are we counting???
And why does firefox insist on being annoying!
Looks like Microsoft blocked the Firefox website within their own browser, wouldn’t surprise me any.
Or maybe its just a coincidence.
funny either way
Nah, it was a global thing. http://www.spreadfirefox.com couldn’t be reached not even _on_ fire–er–failfox.
I’m in ur brauzr, stealin’ ur pagez!
kthxbye
btw, I’m writing this in Firefox3. Their site si back online and already reporting 1.5 mil downloads… GG!
I just have to say, I haven’t seen/heard anyone say GG since I was in like 10th grade, haha.
69th………………….dude, randomn number shout ftw!
Once I got through to the site it was only a couple minutes before I had FF3 up and running. But yeah, their connection was a fail. I guess that means their plans for an epic level of downloading was a success…
DAMMIT BADWOCK. Beat me.
I was ready to download FF3 at 10:15 and all Mozilla sites were down for quite a long time. Finally I was sick of waiting…but eventually got it. I like it so far, much faster than FF2.
Anyways, I kind of like how in the picture…it’s goddamn IE6…and the person is concerned with FF3’s release? Fail IMO.
Is it sad that I thought the exact same thing when I saw the page a few hours ago?
Because of Firefox Download Day, Mozilla servers were gone for a while.
Nice catch.
When you try to download the ff3 from a winxp, watch the download page, at the second step image (! titlebar !)

Windows fails. Use a real OS.
Er, I would count this as an Internet Explorer fail.
I don’t think the cause was their servers being gone. I think they failed to update their servers on time.
I actually hit the servers 4 times in about five minutes, as soon as the promo site changed to show a “GET FIREFOX” link: the first hit showed a 2.0.0.14 link with a 7MB download; the second hit showed the same link but with an allegedly 4MB download. I hit that one, and got 2.0.0.14 (7 MB). On the third hit the page changed to actually be the current Firefox 3 page, but the link took me to a mirror my employer blocked (some ISO site).
Finally I got it, and am now happily running Firefox 3. My extensions mostly work; the two that didn’t aren’t important anyhow (one I’d like back, but I can wait). I’ve gotten a couple of crashes, but it restarts up so quickly I wouldn’t have known about them if it weren’t for the trackback agent; it even puts up the pages it was running at crash time, EXCEPT sometimes for the page that was loading at the time. I can never reproduce the crash.
Good enough.
Yeah, I grabbed the old version the first time, too. I got it all installed and was like “this isn’t any different”. Reading FAIL. Oblivious WIN.
But now I’ve got the right one.

last again
More like, IE FAIL. Of course it can’t find the server… it’s INTERNET EXPLORER.
If i could give you a thumbs up like digg, I would. IE is a nightmare.
fail for using internet explorer in this day and age
Fail for using Windows in this day and age.
opera is still better

Awww, bless. The lonely kid in the corner…
flock is better.
flock is firefox with built-in features you dumb cunt.

Article Author: Your download link goes to release candidates of Firefox 3, not the final version that was released yesterday. You might want to fix that.
Safari FTW!
Yeah, I thought something was odd about the FireFox 3.0 that I had downloaded lol
Of course it failed - you were viewing it through Internet Explorer!
Browser recognition fail!
