Firefox woes

[azlobo73]

Firefox 6, and their new version (or lack thereof) model is just broken.  It
isn't working right with Quicktime plugin, has various rendering issues and
is getting dropped from e-learning systems all over the place (as is in some
cases v5, though with the auto-upgrade 'feature' its not really that
'important' to list v5 anymore).  The only worse thing Firefox can do now is
drop 3.6.x updates, which is basically the only version of FF you can still
get that will work consistently with ours and others' elerning systems
(which Murphy's law would dictate given their latest management calls will
be forthcoming..).  We used to love FF and recommend it first among all
others to students, but now days we have to recommend Safari or Chrome, or
even (depressingly) IE9.

Bah humbug..

python -c "exec(\"import math\\nprint ''.join(map(lambda x: chr(x), (
(ord('a')-(3*5)), int(math.sqrt(math.pi*76)*5+2), int(math.ceil(math.e)*28),
int(math.floor(math.e)*35), long(abs(4%3*35+3)*2))))\")"**
