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.

Tired of slow image rendering? Microsoft Firefox 2007 can deliver online pornography at blazing fiery speeds. By using a proprietary  dynamic algorithm, anything that remotely resembles a tit or a boob will download up to 10 times faster

 :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:
