update The release could make a big impact if pre-release trends propel the browser into serious contention with Internet Explorer.
Firefox finds support

Speedy uptake

The article about the release of Firefox 1.0 is the first item browsed since downloading and installing the new version of this 'refreshing' application and using Sage.

I have been converted.............

Sage rocks

This is the best, absolutely best way to aggregate RSS feeds - it only operates on demand, not constantly pinging your news sources and feeding you popup windows which you don't need. And takes less resources to do so.

I loved the RSS Reader it was based on, too.

Seems to be working now.

I just downloaded 1.0 off the main website, it moved a little slowly when I was navigating the site but the download (4.7MB) was speedy. I'm glad its come out, my trust in MSIE finally waned to naught when the pop up on bank websites exploit came out a few months ago. I also like Opera but FF seems a bit more widely used.

Breasy.com

I recently heard about this site Breasy.com (http://breasy.com). It lets you do tabbed browsing inside IE without downloading anything. Kinda neat if you're stuck with IE at work.

IE with tabs

I myself use Firefox, but it is possible to get IE (in some form) with tabbed browsing. check out Maxthon (formally MyIE2) http://www.maxthon.com/.. also got a whole lotta other features, all of which can be disabled aswell, if you like a minimal browser GUI like myself..

other download server

As some of you guys are aware, all of the official firefox download servers are going quite slow. Here is a unofficial download server that has Firefox 1.0 that i got from Mozilla's servers early this morning.

Encourage IE users to switch

If you're running a dynamic website, you can easily tell when an IE user is browsing and (gently!) encourage them to switch to Firefox. See http://www.ericgiguere.com/articles/how-to-detect-internet-explorer.html for the details.

Firefox has some resources hogging

I have been a firefox user for a while. It is generally a very good browser, easy to use, feature rich but not too much. But it has resources leak problem. Sometimes use up all my CPU and memory resources.

Re:

Firefox takes up more memory than it actually needs so that it performs much better while you're using it. If you switch to another application for a while you'll find that the memory usage goes down, and then back up once you switch back to Firefox. At least that's what happens to me on my 3 computers.

Too bad MS is scared of real competition

Since MS likes to blather on about how they are for giving customers choices, lets see them allow computer makers to preinstall firefox in windows boxes.

Of course they won't since they know IE would be history, along with a good chunk of their monopoly.

I like the old Firefox home page which included forward and back buttons. I don't like the alt and arrow combination. If I can't download an older version like 1.0. I won't use firefox at all. It's a shame , it was my favorite browser. I just removed Mozilla from my computer. Please advise. Thank You, MARTY P.S. Let's keep it simple, It worked , Why are you messing with it?
