  Old  The "Get Firefox" ads...

Those "Switch to firefox now" and "Get Firefox" ads are starting to become just as annoying as receiving spyware on IE..

Probably becuase you've never gotten into it, and don't want to change your coding style. Oblivion Knight is exactly the same.

The banners are annoying when people put them on their site just to look 'trendy' and to 'rebel against micrsoft' etc - Mozilla FireFox is great dont get me wrong but all the little pointless banners are stupid imo (not Mozilla's fault)

The point of the banners is to tell people that Firefox is better then other browsers. Firefox is way faster then IE for me, way faster. It also has alot more features which I like.

The banners are annoying and pointless, however firefox remains a solid browser.

You only really see the Firefox ads if you visit geeky sites.. so if you avoid those, you'll be fine.
