Why no Babel box logo?
Why no logo for the babel box? Cafe Nervosa 02:48, 26 November 2005 (UTC)


 * I see it is discussed here [] Cafe Nervosa 02:58, 26 November 2005 (UTC)


 * Should we use fx instead of fox? --Hello World! 09:42, 16 December 2005 (UTC)


 * It works now. See the instructions in Usage, above. &mdash;QuicksilverT @ 20:31, 5 December 2007 (UTC)

Name change proposal
Wouldn't it be better to rename this category to Mozilla Firefox users for consistency with the other categories? --IByte 20:38, 14 June 2006 (UTC)

What's so great about using Firefox?
Ok, what's all this about using Fire fox? Does it help WP or anything? § 70.165.71.229 21:27, 31 January 2007 (UTC)
 * I guess it's about supporting opensource or something - which is the same idea as wikipedia, basically. And maybe there's some conflicts with IE ? I don't see the point why using specifically FF would help wikipedia though. Guess "I use Firefox" would be perfectly enough of a statement. I also use OpenOffice, but it doesn't make me feel like making earth a better planet... --Lhead 11:42, 31 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Ya, it's so unfair. I can't list the users who play a certain multiplayer game because it is "irrelevant" (but I think the wikipedians are actually saying that they're censoring me) while using a program to edit wikipdia is relevant. I think their's some WikiNationalists that are showing too much pride in people who edit their articles/ -- µWiki   Peers / Seeds  (YouWiki) 21:22, 7 December 2007 (UTC)

Alternate userboxes
The following content was moved from the category page. Some of the userboxes contain errors; use at your own risk.

This category is for Wikipedians who mostly use the Firefox web browser.

To add yourself to this category add the following to your userpage.

Or you can add "User:Blast san/userboxes/User browser:Firefox logo, User firefox2, or " to your user page.

Or in Babel just |Firefox or |Firefox2

Proposing for deletion?
This category is irrelevant to the encyclopedic content and there are statistics of the number of users using a certain browser. There's no point of listing erroneous categories such as this that has nothing to do with the user himself contributing to wikipedia. The user edits wikipedia is a better statement than Wikipedians who use Mozzila Firefox (to edit). If browsers are listed just because it's used to edit wiki, then that's showing signs of WikiNationalism (ehem in which ehem is a ehem democracy ehem). idk if you're gonna rant and deny my statement I will not care. -- µWiki   Peers / Seeds  (YouWiki) 21:31, 7 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Bring that up to the parent category: Category:Wikipedians by web browser. --haha169 (talk) 23:54, 5 June 2008 (UTC)

Query about why this is not consistent with my userpage
I recently added myself to this category, as can be seen on my uesrpage, but it does not appear here. Does any one know why? I am aslo catgegorised as a Wikepedian who uses Google Chrome and that does appear in the appropriate category, but not quite in alphabetical order. ACEOREVIVED (talk) 20:59, 4 February 2009 (UTC)

I'm having the same problem. Oddbodz (talk) 18:15, 22 March 2011 (UTC)

It seems that only some Userboxes add the user to this page. If you go to the page User:KyraVixen/Userboxes/browser:PrefersFirefox there is a userbox that does add you to this page. Kinnerton (talk) 19:33, 5 April 2011 (UTC)

I have attempted to remove the following user boxes
I have attempted to remove the below user boxes from this page as they are not related to usage of Firefox. And this page is for usage of Firefox. I have been told that my removal was spam by User:Technical 13, but I believe it is not. I would love some other users opinions on this as I do not wont to start an edit war.

 * They are all the same User:Technical_13/Userboxes/Browser userbox, just with different parameters set. Since this userbox is for all browsers, then it is appropriate to display here as well.  I also never said that your removal was spam, what I said was   It was, that said . — &#123;&#123;U&#124;Technical 13&#125;&#125; (t • e • c) 00:34, 11 May 2014 (UTC)
 * First off I wanted to apologize for that incorrect edit summary - I assumed you were just vandalizing it, I reverted because the infoboxes were on others (IE Chrome, IE, etc) So I couldn't see much point in having for others and not this, →Davey 2010→  →Talk to me!→  00:47, 11 May 2014 (UTC)
