I know a lot of people love this browser, but it's been really annoying me lately.
So why am I using it? A while ago, something like mid-November, my Dad went on FARK and accidentally downloaded a crap ton of spyware that made our computer unusable. My brother however, managed to mostly fix it. Internet Explorer refused to work, and still won't even after he essentially re-installed it, but since I compulsively download new browsers, we still had plenty of options.
Then in December, the power supply to the laptop went dead. We didn't get a new one until a few days ago, and during the time in-between we used Mom's computer. However, the aforementioned spyware got on her machine, twice. Both times she went to a professional shop who fixed it, and we found out that the spyware isn't specifically going after the sites that FARK links to, but just sites in general. However, it doesn't attack Firefox.
At about the same time as the second spyware infestation on Mom's machine, the new power supply arrived, and we were put under orders from Dad not to use any browser but Firefox.
Well that's all fine and dandy, but the problem is that Gaia doesn't work on Firefox. or at least, it isn't working for me. You can't change your avatar, fiddle with your inventory, preview items, update your status, or play booty grab. It's kinda frustrating to not be able to change out of your avatar's Halloween costume.
WHY CAN'T I HAVE AN EASY INTERNET INTERFACE THAT WORKS THE WAY IT'S SUPPOSED TO WITHOUT DOWNLOADING A MILLION PIECES OF SPYWARE ONTO MY COMPUTER. WHY.
Anyway, I suspect this may be an issue with my computer and Firefox itself, because I know lots of user use Gaia and Firefox and have no problems at all. I just wish I knew how to fix this.
Actually, I also wish that the people who upload viruses and spyware onto the internet would all get a terrible injury that make them realize what bad people they are, and makes them feel bad about this. *Shakes fist*
