Downloading Firefox

By Ryan, August 8, 2008

Yesterday, my little brother tried to do something intelligent by installing Firefox 3 on his computer. He doesn’t know much about computers, especially compared to the great Ryan T. Wilson. So to him, the site firefoxmozilla3.com seemed perfectly legitimate. But I’ve spent enough time on the Series of Tubes to know that there was nothing legit about it. I noticed several flaws from the beginning. For example, if the website was official, “Mozilla” would have come before “Firefox” in the domain name. All of the paragraphs are written about Firefox 2. And every download link requires you to “join,” which I know the real Mozilla would never require you to do. If I had seen the website on my own, my first question would be “Who do they think they’re fooling?”

I didn’t figure it out by knowing what a fake site should look like. I knew what the real thing was like. It’s the same way with the Bible. We won’t know that Satan is luring us into a trap just by knowing what Satan does. He can come in a variety of forms, each more deceiving than the last. God has only one path for each of us. We’re better off learning His will for us and knowing what He would want.

Case in point: reading your Bible is just like surfing the Series of Tubes.

If it helps to know this, the Series of Tubes is the Internet. Though I am fully aware that this probably did not liberate you from any confusion I generated. ;)

Hi,
i am the webmaster of firefoxmozilla3.com and i want to explain something: Our site is not a fake we are selling a support service for firefox 3 since we saw the number of bugs and problems that users meet when they install firefox 3. legit or not : as you may see in the site if you purchase the service you see in red Firfox Free + Unlimited support and that's what we are offering an unlimited support so if you feel that you don't need a support you may download it for free.

 Ryan:

Ironically, as soon as I read this comment, the website had changed to be about Firefox 3 instead of 2. And I'm still not convinced that firefoxmozilla3.com isn't supposed to be deceptive.
