+jamesyfx Subscriber² Posted February 25, 2014 Subscriber² Share Posted February 25, 2014 I've genuinely not spoken to anybody about Firefox for at least a few years now.. These days the browser that comes up in general is Chrome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boo Berry Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 Nope, never heard anyone call it foxfire. The only thing called foxfire I've heard of is when old timers are describing the natural will-o'-the-wisp phenomena. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TAZMINATOR Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 Nope, never heard anyone call it foxfire. The only thing called foxfire I've heard of is when old timers are describing the natural will-o'-the-wisp phenomena. Should I call you 'Fire Berry' or 'Boo Fox'? heheh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boo Berry Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 LOL, you're silly. Actually foxfire (e.g. will-o'-the-wisps) are pretty interesting and from what I've heard, they're seen very, very nearby here on very overcast nights. Perhaps, just perhaps, if I go searching for them the Firefox fox will show itself to me! :o ... actually I wish this Firefox would show itself to me, hahahaha...

Ian S. Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 Let's see, I've heard people call Novell: Novel/Noh-vohwl/ Internet explorer: Internet Exploder (they were serious, and not making a joke) Boolean as Booleen Tuple can be pronounced as too-pole or tuh-pole (but it gets annoying when people always correct each other saying there way is correct) BIOS I've heard people pronounce this as bi-asz or bi-aws it is pronounced BI-oh-s And most frequently OSX (pronounced OS 10 for those who don't know their Roman Numerals) as OSx (ohes-ex) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
