Firefox 1.0 Released

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."

    The new homepage points to http://www.google.com/firefox. Fire your conspiracy theories at will...

  2. Next, SVG by wombatmobile · · Score: 5, Interesting

    Next desire, native SVG support so FireFox wins the enterprise space before Longhorn even gets to market.

    We have two years.

  3. Take the "5 days with Firefox" challenge by citizenkeller · · Score: 5, Interesting
    This is mainly aimed at Windows users (we know you're there!), but here it goes:
    1. Read the "Why Use Firefox?" document
    2. Go download Firefox and install it
    3. Use Firefox as you default browser for 5 days
    4. If, after 5 days, you're still not convinced that Firefox is the best browser there is, uninstall it and switch back
    (From an original idea on Spread Firefox, but the site is -surprise!- currently unreachable)
