- aquova 7y ago...except they're right. Google Earth hasn't been available in Firefox until today. Either you're mixing up Maps and Earth, or misremembering.
- Ajedi32 7y agoA beta release has been available on Firefox for a while now (about a year I think?). It's possible GP was using that.
- unnouinceput 7y agoThis is not facebook, this is HN. You can't possible conceive that a user of HN does this confusion, do you? Because in that case you are not only insulting my intelligence, you're insulting yours as well. Also a simple click on my name and reading a few answers I've given here could tell you I am definitely NOT the usual facebook user who somehow got lost and ended here. Let me tell you again, so there isn't any confusion: Starting mid-November last year when I switched from Chrome to Firefox, I had google Earth from day one on Firefox. And yes, I am very much aware the difference between not only google earth and google maps but also the difference between google maps 2D and google maps 3D possibilities. I have kids, I use all these 3 tools when my kids are doing their Geography homework. Is it clear now?
- Vinnl 7y agoWell, my apologies for trying to help, I guess. I try not to make any assumptions about your background knowledge, and am not going through everyone's comments before replying to them. I know this is unasked for, but I do think it would save a lot of frustration and make for more pleasant interactions if we try to assume other people have good intentions.
- Vinnl 7y agoI'm serious though: I've seen people refer to Google Maps as Google Earth, even though they're separate products - and it's not clear to me whether you're not aware of the former or of the latter. Google Maps: https://maps.google.com/ https://maps.google.com/ Google Earth: https://earth.google.com/web/ https://earth.google.com/web/
