How Ubiquitous is IE? (aka. The Firefox 3 Installation Instructions)

Scott Hooks  |    |  Tags:  firefox microsoft  |  Comments (4)
Today I decided to upgrade from Firefox 2 to Firefox 3 as I have heard that at least one strength is faster page loading, which is always good. I have used Firefox for absolutely all web browsing for at least the past 6 months EXCEPT for (perhaps most ironically) the online IBM Business Partner tools that I have to use and require Internet Explorer. But I digress.

The inspiration for this blog entry was that when I went do download Firefox 3 from www.firefox.com wiith Firefox 2, I was presented with a nice 4 step process of how to download and install it with screen shots. What struck me is that steps 1 and 2 were screen shots that assumed I was using Internet Explorer to download it! OK, so maybe that's their target audience, but could they not at least detect that I am using a previous version of THEIR BROWSER and present me with instructions specific to that?

Sad; just sad.

3 Michael Smelser      Permalink I think they need a little more testing, ver 3.0 crashes on me constantly. Glad they have the "Restore Previous Session" functionality.

4 Chris Whisonant      Permalink Yeah, I noticed the same IE screenshots Scott. IE is the standard for most orgs and users who don't know better. If you already have FF, chances are you already know how to save and install software!! Teach a man to fish...
