FTFF, originally a string of profanity ("Fuck the fucking fuckers"), has become far better known in Apple Macintosh circles as an abbreviation for "Fix the Fucking Finder." To the best of anyone's knowledge, the term was coined by members of the forum at Ars Technica. It symbolizes the dissatisfaction of some Macintosh users with the state of the Finder in Mac OS X. This sentiment was fomented by articles written by John Siracusa for Ars Technica, particularly his article dedicated to the failings of the Mac OS X Finder:

Many Mac users consider the Mac OS X Finder to be inferior to its Mac OS 9 counterpart, and the biggest flaw in the Mac OS X user experience. Some criticisms of the Macintosh Finder include:

The current Finder is inexplicably slow, especially when dealing with network shares, including Apple's
own iDisk.
The current Finder is buggy, failing to correctly implement some of the most basic features (e.g., accurately reflecting the total size of a folder as files are added to or removed from it)
The current Finder is not spatial.

Apple is rumored to be working on a new, restructured Finder with a better user interface and more efficient performance, for the next release of Mac OS X, Leopard. But this expectation has preceded most major releases of Mac OS X. Thus far, "FTFF" proponents have been disappointed, although suggest work is being done on the Finder.
