Mozilla Firebird gets .8 Release, and New Name

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the what's-a-name-between-friends dept.

Yage writes "Firebird, the lightweight version of Mozilla gets release 0.8 and changes its name again (remember Phoenix?) to avoid confusion with another OSS project. The new name is Firefox. There's a press release out about the name change and new version. And, as usual, download it from mozilla.org." Worth noting that ThunderBird .5 has been released as well. Update: 02/09 14:55 GMT by H : Thanks to Steve Garrity for pointing out the name change FAQ.

    Just for laughs, Apple should rename their mail program "racial slurs."

    Question: how can one trust a BitTorrent link from an untrusted source? What's the best way to ensure you're getting the real deal?
