Firefox 3 Safe For Public?

Today, I have one interesting question for you: is Firefox 3 safe for public user? I know, it sounds lame, stupid, call it as you wish, but I must ask. Why? Well, I am not talking about the security flaw discovered a few days after the official release...or were those hours? Nothing is perfect, and I am not going to get into any data security dispute today. It's not Easter, of course, but I am moving around an Easter Egg now... It's all about robots!

All about robots...don't you get it? Firefox - robots - Isaac Asimov's Three Laws of Robotics...

OK, just type "about:robots" in the address bar! Got it now? Not yet?

Even more, if you press the Try Again button...just don't press the button! Oh, my - you did that already? Well, next you can click the new button, now saying Please do not press this button again, and a robot will get to you and kick you in the back! Well...not quite that, just that the button will go away.

I didn't manage to see or hear anything else, but if you did, please feel free to let us know!

Did you notice the message in the tab with the message from the robots? So...what's all this Gort!Klaatu Barada Nikto! thingie all about? Just watch the movie below -


So...is Firefox 3 safe for public use? What if those robots have the plan of assimilating us? What if the Borg assimilated our favorite browser? Too many questions today, I got a headache... but I hope you enjoyed the Firefox 3 robots Easter Egg! ;)

    This was really entertaining. More entertaining was the video to accompany it. I did not know that's what it was from.

    I also have seen the movie some time ago, but I couldn't remember this phrase. It's good we have Google to remember us things we forget! ;)
