Comments on: Firefox maps its next moves

On the heels of the 1.0 release, Mozilla sets its sights on challenging Microsoft's Internet Explorer browser dominance.

Business & organizations shouldn't hesitate

Even if OEM's don't catch on quickly, business & organizations shouldn't hesitate. Some organizations have already begun to offer the choice of either browser on their computers. Many computers on the campus here at Western Washington University have it installed. The disparity between Firefox and Internet Explorer in both quality and security is great enough that Firefox should really be made the default browser for any business or organization workstation. The mozilla organization can't make us use their better browser, but they can provide us the choice. We simply have to make that choice.

Smart Businesses Will Hesitate

Blindly adopting any technology based on comments in a biased forum such as those found on CNet is far worse than hesitating and conducting your own benefit analysis.

Well Said!

Mr. Ashlock hit it right on the head !

I've been using Mozillaware ever since I got my computer, & never regretted it. It's all the things that I.E. is not. It's secure, it's fast, & it's flexible!

Make THE choice. Choose Mozilla Firefox 1.0!

Downloading is scary **oooh**

Firefox won't do well until the OEM manufacturers begin to skirt microsoft and bundle the browser with the OS.

Joe Sixpack doesn't want to download a whole new program. Especially when he has to download each new version on his own without any "hold my hand" autoupdate assistance.



I've found that it's easier to get someone to understand the benefits of taking the time to download something like Firefox once they've seen tabbed browsing in action. I usually send them to breasy.com so they can get the flavor inside IE.

shortsighted

Firefox least virtue is tabbed browsing, hook them in with the better security and options.

If only MS would allow OEM's to bundle firefox, but that will never happed since MS knows it does not have a chance to survive on a level playing field.

Web Standards and IE

It's amazing that Microsoft was actually a part of developing some of the web standards we developers use. Their home page is an example of what not to do...heavy nested tables and spacer gifs. Their IE browser is full of CSS bugs requiring hacks to get around. Firefox on the otherhand, is developer friendly...check out the Web Developer extension to see what I mean.
