              Subliminal Messages From Firefox

            • I've always wanted to start a conspiracy. Its too bad that the potential subliminal message I am refering isn't something with a little more "Suburban Myth" potential.

              What the hell am I blabbering about this time? Take a look:

              subliminal-fx-images-small.png
              (click the image for much larger view of all thea action)

              Now, I'm not seeing any sort of Satanic worship symbols, or any real effort to try and tell me to go and buy a Coke(although, if there is a way to embed such suggestions into the Firefox image I would bet Mozilla would suddenly find itself in a fairly lucrative situation ;) but there is the fact that its telling me to visit www.mozilla-europe.org...

              Hmmmm....

              Why? Whats at www.mozilla-europe.org? What kind of a conspiracy is Mozilla getting itself into here?

              Am I being abused by a subliminal message embeded into the background?

              I want my lawyer! ;)

              ---
              K, nuff' of that...

              Oh, by the way... In case you hadn't noticed, this is the "transition" graphic when a new tab opens in Firefox 1.5. With as many times as I click a link that trys to open a new window (I have it set to open a background tab instead) or hit Ctrl + T to create a new tab instance in Firefox -- I'm telling you Mozilla -- if you don't totally get muffed by someone who rushes to the presses with a "Moz/Fx Is Now AdWare" you could very well find yourself in a fairly lucrative situation. :D

              Mozilla, Please don't stoop that low... ;)

              • I don’t see this transition screen. Tried on 3 different installed machines.

                Tried with ctrl+T/cmd+T, double clicking empty tab space, ctrl/cmd clicking links… nothing. Just empty space.

                Do you have a dodgy plugin?

                Maybe it’s too early in the morning and I’m missing something.

              • Hi Adrian,

                Are you running on a Windows box? I have the released 1.5 running on both XP/Pro and a Win2K3 box and I’m seeing it on both. I just installed it on the Win2K3 box using a fresh download. In fact, come to think of it, when the final 1.5 bits were available I downloaded and installed it from the executable instead of waiting for it to update itself.

                I wonder if this is the difference?
