Spread Firefox - Wordsmiths

Can you write this letter for me?

Sat, 14 Apr 2007 16:58:58 -0700

If you go to Yahoo!'s download page, you will see that that they have a
version of IE 7 that they optimized to have faster access to Yahoo!
services. So my idea was to write a letter to Yahoo! to persuade them
into make an optimized version of Firefox for their services. Since
millions of people use Yahoo! it would be a great way to advertise
Firefox! If someone has spare time on their hands do they mind posting
the letter in this thread? It would be greatly appreciated.

Welcome to my Classroom
It's the Place to be...
To learn about the world around
It aint no Mis-ter-ry
The tools you'll need are safly tucked
Deep within your Brain...
So study hard and hit the books
And don't act like no lame...
'Cause the mind you waste will be your own
it really will be missed
And add to that the stress from home the parents will be pissed. Word up, Aight?

Firefoxing

Mon, 03 Apr 2006 17:23:51 -0700

Hi everyone. I have been here for some weeks, but I have not shared my "switch story". So, let me tell you how it all began. As many of us, I had been on the dark for many years. I only knew IE, and its errors, low security and "no-tabs" (yes, I like to create nouns... anyways). Howevere, some day, I found one guy who showed me "the light" (yes, Firefox). Of course, when you are for a long time in the darkness your eyes tend to be hurt with light, so I did not accept the change for about one or two months. After that time, I finally accepted Firefox, and you know, it has been the best sofware investment I have ever made (even through it is free). I love its tabs, its speed, its extensions and... huh... its firefox (in fact I am searching everywhere for a stuffed firefox).

I have been attached to the community since then, and I am doing my best to help the projects of this site. I hope this was not just a boring testimonial. Sfx!

Firefox benefits write-up

Wed, 08 Feb 2006 08:24:36 -0800

Hello,

I work for a large corporation and have whined, complained, and hounded my management enought to allow me to run Firefox. In exchange, they want me to write up an evaluation of the benefits and drawbacks associated with using the browser in my daily work. I can handle the details as it pertains to my work, but does anyone know of a good (objective) analysis of FireFox? I need a starting point and a good format to use to submit this to an approval committee (don't ya just love corporate bureaucracy?).

Lil' help? Anyone?

I'm not even sure if I'm in the right forum with this post..but I will say I'm liking this Firefox browser..very firendly indeed. So..where have I been one might wonder that it's taken me this long to give Firefox a try? Well let's just say I'm a tad lazy when it comes to making changes in my browsing habits..but IE was sending be round the bend truly it was. I actually owe them a big Gracias for being so amazingly frustrating it sent me in search of this fine browser.

Maybe they need to put a couple or ten
"Spread Firefox," decals on their main page. In hindsight..even if they do nothing..it will be advertizing enough.

Later people.

You get control

not vice versa.

Enjoy the Fox and Enjoy the Web.

Why worry about IE? It doesn't worry about you.

Get the browser as original as you.
(I imagine this as a poster featuring a guy with a hot pink mohawk and tons of piercings/tattoos)

Let me know what you think of them.

misleading verbiage on live bookmarks product page

Fri, 13 May 2005 11:56:17 -0700

Hi,

On this page:

http://www.mozilla.org/products/firefox/live-bookmarks

It reads, "The web site determines the number of headlines displayed and how often the headlines are updated."

This makes it seem that the refresh rate of the live bookmark headline is determined by the feed author and not the Firefox preference --- browser.bookmarks.livemark_refresh_seconds.

It might be clearer if it read like this:

"Many sites and blogs use RSS to publish their most recent headlines. The number of headlines displayed and frequency of published content is determined by the website author. The default setting for Firefox is to refresh RSS feeds every 30 minutes. "

i'm not completely sure this is where to post this.. if it's not, let me know..

My ad needs proofreading!

Tue, 19 Apr 2005 22:47:41 -0700

Hey there fellow firefox spreaders. I've just made an ad for firefox and I need some suggestions. I think it still needs much improvement i.e. photo and layout, but when doing the "proofreading" on your own work you tend to not pay attantion to the bad things. I need your thoughts. Here is the link: http://img254.echo.cx/img254/1700/multitasking9ga.png Thanks, Ed. :-)

Translation please.

Mon, 31 Jan 2005 05:55:26 -0800

So there are these five top slogans used on buttons can anyone do some translation into theyr native laguage?
I ask this because when I tried to translate them from english to my native laguage for a try. I saw these very weird things come about weels...

So some translations on the German and french specially would be apreciated, also if some one could do some sort of asian tranlation like japanese, chinese and corean would be nice.

Thanks in advance.

New Availability Listing

Wed, 26 Jan 2005 05:30:21 -0800

Please let SFX users know if you're available for editing, proofreading, etc. I'd like it if we could breathe some life into this forum.

I, for one, am constantly available for anything involving text. Just PM me. I can also cross-reference whatver is sent with whatever your target group is for "field testing". I'm around a lot of Firefox users with varying degrees of technological enthusiasm. This little network will help us make sure your ad works. I'll forward any improvments/revisions.

Proofread Request on .doc file

Sat, 22 Jan 2005 10:02:49 -0800

Heyo! I need a Wordsmith check on a flyer intended for possible mass distribution at a high school. This is not urgent, but a reasonably rapid response would be nice.

Target: Nontechies, ages 14-18, Public High School Students

Designed for Compatibility With: Semitechies, Techies, Teachers/Staff, Parents

File URL:
http://www.freewebs.com/shadowoftwilight/firefox/Firefox1.doc

I made this version in color, but it's designed so it can easily be changed to black and white if necessary. The header is in a font called "Army", in the style of your typical army stenciling. A quick google search should turn it up if you really want it, or i could just email the necessary fonts to you. I also used a few bits and pieces from raiph's "You've Got Malware" post. Let me know what you think, and feel free to email me any changes. Thanks!
