I use Firefox 2. Did you know it's ancient and not standards-compliant? Then clearly you haven't visited thn.gs with it. If you do, you get this lovely message:

Your browser is not supported (probably it won't be)
and we are not sorry about it.


Why?
Normally people use modern, standarts-compliant browsers and they're happy with them. If we would allow you to see our site in your browser, it will look like a mess, but we don't care because it's not our mistake. Basically, your browser simply can't handle such an application like Things, but there's plenty of recommended browsers: Safari 3, Firefox 3, Opera 9, Chrome, etc.
Thanks, guys! It's not often I get flashbacks of someone else's memories.

Why're you using Firefox 2? It's horrible.

I know that now, but I didn't before the website told me.

Sadly, Firefox 2 on my work desktop (Ubuntu 7.10, amd64) works better than any other browser I've used, on any platform. It crashes maybe once every couple of months or so. Sure, it's a memory hog, and it slows down, but it doesn't crash.

Maybe by the time I have to upgrade to something newer (7.10 won't be supported past April 2009), Chrome will be out for Linux. I'm going to miss Firefox 2.

It seems to like Mozilla Firebird just fine, giving me a login page. Apparently somewhere between 0.7 and 1.5 (which fails identically to 2) Firefox stopped being a modern browser, then reclaimed its modernness for 3.
