Firefox 1.0 Released
New Here writes "November 9 has arrived and with it comes Firefox 1.0. According to its home page, Firefox empowers you to browse faster, more safely, and more efficiently than with any other browser. I'm New Here, but this Firefox does sound very promising! Firefox 1.0 is available now for Windows, Linux, and Mac from the mozilla.org ftp server."
No way really?
I've managed to download a copy and order a t-shirt and the site isn't slashdotted yet. What are you all asleep or something?

It was already running incredibly slowly BEFORE slashdot posted the article.

For the cool logo :)
Don't think there is much reason to swith if you are
using Mozilla. But for a lot of people Firefox is
faster and smaller. It also looks cooler by default.
Mind, it's called 'Mozilla Firefox'
You sure can't beat that OS built-in goodness.
Yummy

They don't need to learn. At least that's their take on it. They include the browser with the OS. How many people who arent geeks like us will spend the time to download another browser and learn how to integrate it with their os - cuz we all know MS does not make that an easy task.. "Internet Explorer is no longer your default browser? Should I notify the FBI?!?!" etc.
Don't Tread on Me
When the Grauniad and the BBC report this story hours before it appears on Slashdot, you know something's wrong with the world.

[Vader]I find your lack of faith distrubing[/Vader]...
You mean, they should all get together and make themselves equal in size? :-)
Or was that meant to be, "commence?"
ObOnTopicComment: Yes, Firefox is darned good. You should try it.
It 's shame !
Don't be fooled ! Why you must keep Internet Explorer at all cost

Emacs has a new contender?
And the IE page is 589 bytes whereas Firefox' one is 1458 bytes which tells us how lean and up-to-the-task MSIE compares nicely against Mozilla bloatware.... WAIT A MINUTE!!!
;) Or, come to think of it - I see. It's so that tabbar does not mix with the page, right?
Anyway - what was the trigger for IE page? Anything uses it now?
PS: What's that gradient business at the top of Firefox page? We don't need stinky "cool designs" at Google!!!
No, I'm Some Kind Of Record.

Finish your coffee, you'll feel better.
I don't know what 9 should be, but 10 should be "Profit!"

You insensitive clod! What if i'm on a 300 baud acoustic coupler?
If you have automatic updates enabled you can be sure that you are using one of the most secure browsers available.
Oh ah ha ha ha, Dave you're so funny! Always clowing around.
Now seriously Dave, answer the question properly this time.

Who is General Failure and why is he reading my hard disk?
No, no, see, it was all in the way you *said* the question. For example:

Non-troll (honest question):
"Why should I switch from Mozilla to Firefox?"
Troll (indignant):
"Why should I switch from Mozilla to Firefox?"
See? It's all in the tone of voice.
It is? :-( I'd gotten attached to that bug... Slashdot looks all strange now without it.
There are 11 types of people in the world: those who can count in binary, and those who can't.
I use spell check a lot, especially when posting here.
Why? No one else does. :)
