Same here Sam, opens but with a couple of popups and the displayed page appears as random text.

There's quite a few malicious links to Firefox going round, so I have excercised caution and removed it.  As far as I am aware, there is no such thing as Firefox Professional 2007.

Edit - perhaps I over-reacted.  :blush:  It appears to be humerous, rather than malicious, but even so, could mislead people into thinking it was official.

 :aarrgh:   :blush:  But it does lead to a download of IE7, so that's reason enough to have removed it!   >:D

Sorry, Misty!   :-*

 :haha:    Where's your sense of humour Simon.

 :gotcha:

I know I should have posted this in the laughter zone, but that would have taken all the fun out of catching all the "techie types" out.

Now that, that has been achieved maybe it should be moved to the laughter zone so the rest of us normal people can enjoy it, with the added bonus of your reactions. :baad:
