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.

    Mozilla.org seems to be real slow now. Try downloading from the mirrors. Out of the mirrors, this one seems to be updated.
