Mozilla 1.0 Officially Here
hhg writes "People of the world, rejoice! At last, the long awaited Mozilla 1.0 is released, and has emerged on the ftp.mozilla.org ftp-server. Let the release parties loose!" And there's even an Ann Arbor party now ;) Congratulations
to all the developers that contributed to the mighty lizard. And bahtama writes "The latest IE gopher hole patch is out! :) ... Check the release notes and then grab it from here."
A party because a piece of software was released? Social lives can be good too...
You want to know who isn't running Firefox 2.x? They spell it "definately" and "rediculous".
I think this is going to be a major boon for Linux. Far too long has Linux been considered a "marginal" OS with a handful of zealous believers. With Mozilla at 1.0, and KDE and Gnome almost ready for prime-time, and several Linux office suites in the final planning stages, Linux is poised for triumph.
Watch the Windows users come running in droves!

Yeah, but if your post is any indication, your troll.exe is at version 0.02alpha.

No, they probably haven't, because Mozilla is not really supposed to be an end-user browser. It is supposed to be the engine for other end-user browsers. At least, that was its original intent. So leaving the debug stuff in the 1.0 makes sense, since they are always developing and not making a mass consumption product.
The world moves for love. It kneels before it in awe.
Regardless, great news! Me == happy.

5 minutes with the new browser under Mac OS X, surfing slashdot and mozillazine and the darn thing crashed on me!
What is their exact definition of a 'final' release?
Here's the link to the IE Patch:

You are basically right, I think. Linux is making huge strides every day, and this is just another notch in the stick with which Linux will beat Microsoft about the face.
Linux has shown superiority over Windows in nearly every category. There are a few areas, such as compatability with mp3 players and other popular peripherals, compatability with the latest Office standards, and any serious desktop publishing, where Linux still lags a bit (though one need only check out SourceForge to see the attempted solutions slowly on the way), but with this release we can safely expect to see some big players "go Linux" Real Soon Now.
Go Mozilla!

Why aren't you refusing to use IE because it doesn't support CSS correctly? It's time for MS to bite the bullet, and support some web standards like everybody else.
I would expect something more then this. I can't believe they went with the crappy Netscape interface. One of the reasons why everyone moves to IE was because NS had one of the worst user interfaces.
I did download one of the first version of Mozilla and I did like their interface but the finally version use NS crappy interface. Mozilla won't beat IE with this kind of crappy interface. What a waste of effort.
I just wish that bug #58554 would be fixed so that I can have use xv as my helper aplication for images. Why this is listed as an RFE and not a bug is beyond me. If you configure Mozilla to use "xv" as the helper application for MIME type "image/gif" and it continues to render the GIF inside the browser window, it's clearly a bug, and an annoying one at that! It's the only thing keeping me from switching from Netscape 4.x to Mozilla.
Aw, c'mon. How do you know how much he gives? Cursory google search turned up that Bill Gates is the greatest philanthropist in American history. At the very least,in 1999, he made what is believed to be the largest ever individual donation to charity..
I don't like his business practices, but as a philanthropist I don't think he deserves the scorn. (And, quite frankly, I don't care what his motivations for giving are either. The world would be better off if people always did the right thing for the wrong reasons, rather than the other way around.)

What I really want to know is, why does it take 3s to open the bookmarks tab, and when you go away and come back, it takes 3s again?
NS4.7 read bookmarks from a text file and took less than 1s, why is Moz so slow at everything?
Feels like Java all over again!
