Hi there, sounds like you were lucky to get your SSL at all from these guys! I also get these reminders every three days and also had the added bonus of not being being issued with the cert, despite having paid for it. (I’m not the only – plenty of results on a Google search). Anyway, more of my story here;

Basically, do not under any circumstances purchase an SSL or indeed any other service from Regfly as these guys are full on criminal scammers…

Dear fireFox:

I like your long rant and am not here to debate YOU vs. Chrome. I just like Chrome and its elegance. Even the Dev channel releases (2-3 updates per week) and mostly solid.

YOU are great stable browser but Chrome is revolutionary kid on the block. Moreover me thinks that YOU are for average user, while Chrome is for nerds.

That is only if you can find a phone number on their website. There is none!

Certainly it will have a good time as far as google manages to run their GoogleUpdate.exe on your windows machine. You can get rid of this but guess what? it will be there as soon as you connect.

Its skinny and nice to compare that the amount of memory it consumes once you minus the googleupdate and per process overhead! Each tab or webpage is executed in separate process so basically you are consuming per process memory which can’t be less in any situation as compare to single process. A broken software is good to run in separate process space so ‘bugs’ wont destroy the whole app. To make it multithreaded takes more firefox source that will be done at some point.

Not to mention the heavy duty process switching that your CPU would be doing! Last but not least there are no ‘add-on-s’ you might have to wait for couple to months or years.

You are always welcome to firefox when you had enough.

Did you try to click the “Renew Cert” link? maybe you can get to them . I always find this way easy to talk to customer service person with sales/promotion etc route.

You can download stable release from http://www.google.com/chrome. I use Dev Channel releases which are updated weekly and are meant only for testing. If you are developer or techie, you might be interested in these early access releases available from http://dev.chromium.org/getting-involved/dev-channel
