Bug 274784: Aka Whiplash!

Posted by Grey Mozilla

There’s been a lot of fantastic work done on Bug 274784, “Make back and forward blazingly fast and side-effect free.” Well, at 3am thoughts were rolling through my mind, and I came up with a cool name for this new feature. Whiplash. I like it, a few other folks do. Let’s make it official! “Firefox 1.1: Faster, Smarter, and now with Whiplash!“

Yeah, that’s kind of cool. But the Opera fans will be all over us for implementing and selling with a feature Opera did first… 😉

Thirding whiplash. So glad to hear this bug is fixed! 🙂

it still has a little while before it becomes "fixed"…..it has caused some major problems……myself and others are seeing crashes seemingly out of no where since this has been implemented…….but it will be a great feature once all the bugs are worked out….

Please do yourself and the world a favor. Don’t ever go into marketing or PR.

From Wikipedia:
"Whiplash is the result of impulsive stretching of the spine, often the result of a rear-end collision between cars or trucks."

Not exactly oozing positivity is it? Market that as a feature and people think: If i use this feature I’ll suffer from persistent neck pain that may or may not lead to a disability?

Also, it’s kind of insensitive to the people that suffer from whiplash to start using it as a buzzword.

Wow. You are a complete and total tool. I KNOW what whiplash is. I REALLY doubt people will think Firefox will give them neck injuries. And I also doubt whiplash sufferers will be offended as whiplash isn’t a long term chronic condition. It’s a type of injury that heals with time and sometimes physical therapy. There are lots of words used for marketing purposes that have other connotations.

"It’s a fun little name for a new feature."

Thanks. That’s all I wanted to hear. I was worried you would somehow try to push this through to make it an official name or something.

No reason to get all worked up. 🙂

I guess this guy Socially conscious marketer did’nt read the rules. So much for being Socially Conscious…

*There are only a few rules in what’s allowed in comments. Another is don’t be a jerk.*
