<div class="IPBDescription">Random renaming extension for firefox</div> I was reading <a href='http://www.slashdot.org' target='_blank'>/.</a> earlier today and saw <a href='http://slashdot.org/articles/04/03/27/0250250.shtml?tid=126&tid=154&tid=95' target='_blank'>this article</a>. I figured it would just be a simple plugin to let original Phoenix and Firebird fans change the Firefox name back. But no...it's much more fun than that <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif' /><!--endemo-->

It comes with three default lists of words (company name, prefix, and postfix). They start with just Mozilla, adjective-like prefixes, and animal names for postfixes, but you can add whatever you want. Then whenever you start Firefox the top bar will randomly select among these. Right now thanks to the additions I've made to the lists I'm in Fidelity Investments Moonanemone. If I open another instance of it I could be in Microsoft Moonpony or Mozilla Spaceyak.

Random fun <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    No need for the "wall of anti-ban," this actually made me laugh because it shows me how much more attention I give to my programming classes instead of my English classes <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    Oh, thanks Marik, much much <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/style_images/TSA_Skin-975/icon12.gif' border='0' alt='user posted image' /> for this. Although I actually like the name Firefox, and I think the logo and branding for it is one of the best moves Mozilla have ever taken, its a running joke in the office about Mozilla's renaming scheme, so I shall set it to Mozilla Fireworm, and see how long they take to notice. <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    Darnit, now I *want* a Moonpanda icon.

    And this'd almost be enough to tempt me away from full-on Mozilla, except for the cut-down configuration options in FF. (Well, at least *I* can't find a good chunk of the stuff I use daily.)

    Full on Mozilla is ugly and bloaty though. So very, very ugly. Im amazed Mozilla havnt managed to screw up Firefox yet, it actually keeps getting nicer, rather than going the normal Mozilla route of starting off a good idea, then slowly making it worse and worse until noone in their right midn would change to it. <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    Of course, a lot of Web designers have taken to using Firefox, prompted by the surge in CSS technologies, so theyre keeping it looking pretty slick.

    Ugly? What've you been smoking, Fam? Firefox comes with a Theme turned on, is all. You can apply that same theme to standard Mozilla, as it's packaged with it. Just defaults to 'Classic' instead of 'Modern'.

    And the reason for the bloat is that the binaries of Mozilla come with a metric buttload of debugging trackers turned on. Slows it down, as well as EATS memory. With a quick recompile, turning all those options off, it becomes faster than Opera. <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    Yes Talesin, but <b>most</b> people do not even know what recompiling binaries means, let alone how to do it. And even more than that do not want the hassle. <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    Anyhow, lets not argue. Heres a moonpanda to settle the arguement (but in the style of a Firefox icon <!--emo&;)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/wink.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink.gif' /><!--endemo--> ). Its rather hard to make a panda look like a panda, by the way. And yes, if anyone would like to know, this is one thing I do in my forum breaks. <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    Yay!

    Sadly, I'd have to agree. Most people just use what they're handed. Which is why most people use IE. <rimshot>
