Posted by CmdrTaco on from the let-the-downloads-commense dept.

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."

    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?

    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.

    When the Grauniad and the BBC report this story hours before it appears on Slashdot, you know something's wrong with the world.

      Fortunately, the /. editors are already hard at work making plans to repost the story early to make up for lost time.

    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.

    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.
