A Look at the Newly Released Mozilla Firefox 0.9

Posted by simoniker on from the detonate-the-samantha dept.

SilentBob4 writes "Mad Penguin is one of the first to review the latest Mozilla Firefox release, numbered 0.9. According to the reviewer, there's a lot to be thankful for, as this release is far more stable than its earlier versions and sports some new features along with a new interface. My new all-time-favorite line: 'Look out Internet Explorer... your days have been numbered for some time now, but Firefox 1.0 will surely leave you shaking on your already shaky foundations and standing in a small warm puddle'. Nicely put."

    You're a clueless fuck who didn't bother reading the thread. I'll entertain you with an answer nonetheless. If we switch to firefox from IE, we might lose NTLM authentication. We've decided that we're willing to take that loss in exchange for not having the inherent vulnerabilities in IE that assist the proliferation of malware, "lol" elsewhere you clueless moron.

    I, personally have given up on making my own webpages work with IE, it's not worth the effort

    It's only 80% of the browser market, no big loss. If you think that's not worth the effort, you must be one shitty ass "web designer."

    That's impossible. Macs never crash, only Windows PC's.

    Right?

    He never claims its the final release dumbass! Do you know how closely the final code will resemble the RC???? You'd be amazed, really. I don't see how it discredits anything.
