Mozilla Firefox 1.0 Released!

Post Reply New Topic

The Mozilla Foundation has graciously released the premiere open-source Web browser, Mozilla Firefox 1.0, today, Tuesday, November 9, 2004. Mozilla Firefox is a highly exntensible, themable browser that uses the same Gecko rendering engine found in the Mozilla suite. It features tabbed browsing, built-in ad blocking (plus a separate downloadable Adblock extension that makes ad blocking even more powerful), a clean user interface, and a simple download manager.

For all of you still using Microsoft Internet Explorer, I heartily recommend making the switch today.

You can download Mozilla Firefox at http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/releases/1.0/.

oi loikes firefox

its stable, quick and the pop up blocker works/doesn't slow browsing down noticeably (unlike IE)

From what my dad says, even the beta version works well, so v1.0 should be exceptional.

Hopefully Mozilla 1.0 will provide some very tough competition for Microsoft.

yes firefox is a nice fast brower but even better is the full mozilla up to ver 1.7.3 as of 2004-11-10

I have used Mozilla for 2 years. Since Firefox is basically the same browser, I highly recommend it.

Well I've used motzilla for all of two months, and it's exceedingly fine, so I have no great urge to move to any other. Better is better of course, so if firefox is quicker and slicker etc, then by all means; all I can counsel without, hesitation: ditch Internet Explorer!

mac user's question.

How does it compare to safari?
I was using mozilla with OS9 and was happy with it, but I bought a new computer (OSX) and am using safari at the moment. It reminds me a lot of mozilla anyway.

Mozilla Firefox is what I've used for a long time. I recently upgraded to 1.0.
