Next, you'll be telling us how your home-made doghair sweaters are much warmer, and you hardly notice the smell when they're damp. Loosen up the pursestrings, and live a little for once.

Firefox is free. They make their money (and lots of it) from search revenue when people using Firefox. I prefer Firefox, and as a web developer I would prefer my users to use firefox. So by spending my money promoting firefox, I am actually helping myself out as well. Without Firefox fans, Firefox would not be successful, since Microsoft has the market so dominated with Internet Explorer. In response to Theresa,

Why anyone would use their own money to produce the logoed products is more than I can comprehend.

If I did not cry I got a pencil. Now, oddly enough, each firefox user can also get a pencil for their pain. I wonder what IE users get?
