Happy birthday Firefox - Mozilla Firefox 1.0 Relea

"The Mozilla Foundation today released Firefox 1.0, the first major new product release since the Mozilla Suite's 1.0 in June of 2002. Firefox 1.0 is the completion of roughly 2 years of work on the revolutionary new browser, which has raised the Mozilla Foundation's profile greatly in its year of existance. The release follows up the hugely successful Preview Release which had over eight million downloads."

I have been a big fan since an early Beta, so I just want to wish the FireFox team every success with their assault on IE. They have a quality product, and it deserves all the recognition it can get.
(I use it in parallel with IE daily, and would not hesitate in recommending it.)

And you might have to be a little patient, because their server is very busy.

Also, you can try

ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/releases/1.0/

and download it directly.

do you guys know if my plug ins will still work or have they updated them. I'm on 0.92 right now.

The web developer plug-in for Firefox is just amazingly useful. I would say it even justifies installing Firefox on its own.

Actually it's been available for a couple of weeks, I can tell you it is very good and as such, have already placed its banner on my own site 🙂

IE is dead, long live the Fox!

While we are on the subject of Mozilla, I can highly recommend their email suite Thunderbird. I use this instead of Outlook and it rocks, more importantly it is not susceptible to security problems like the M$ product. This goes for Firefox too. You want safer browsing, get Firebird. Not to mention its better interface and its abundance of plugins and developing tools

I think the name "Firebird" was owned by somebody else so they changed it to Firefox.
From what I've read on the Mozzilla site, Firefox isn't inherently more secure than IE, it's just less studied by hackers.
I like the pop-up blocker, it cuts out the annoying "set your edition" pop-up on CNN, for example.

Does Firefox come with HactivX...I mean ActiveX turned on by default? Sorry but you apparently read that elsewhere.
