Taken from the blog at PvP
Speakeasy is First Broadband Provider to Officially Customize Mozilla Firefox
Posted on Tuesday, January 25, 2005
Speakeasy has been PvP's host for the last couple of years and I can't talk them up enough. They're a great company and the most reliable hosting provider the PvP comic has ever had. Speakeasy understands the net, they understand gamers and geeks and know what they want from a provider.
I'm also a huge supporter of Mozilla's Firefox browser and its Thunderbird mail client. I've got links to download them on the site because I want to help spread the word about Firefox. It really is the superior browser compared to Internet Explorer and the offical 1.0 release runs smoothly on every system I own.
Today, Speakeasy announced that it is the first provider to offer an official customized version of Firefox... Mozilla Firefox: Speakeasy Edition. They've taken the firefox browser and "customized it with helpful and entertaining bookmarks courtesy of Speakeasy's Crew!" I'm proud to say that a link to PvP (as well as Penny-Arcade and Homestar Runner)is among those bookmarks.
It looks like Speakeasy will be sending out the Speakeasy Edition of Firefox as part of their self-install broadband service kits to its residential customers. That's just too damn cool.
If you don't have firefox, or if you already have it installed but want the Speakeasy modification, you can get it here.
And if you are fed up with your current DSL provider or webhosting serivce, I highly recommend Speakeasy. I ain't just saying it. PvPonline.com is my entire life and I wouldn't entrust it to just anybody.

It's never a good idea to let someone else fuck with your product, no matter who they are

They haven't left for Google. They're still heading up Mozilla. They're just being paid by google now.

yeah, this is awesome.
I tried to get my company to do something similar to this a few months ago, but they'd rather hand out lame ass pens with our logo on them and call it a day.
