Firefox News Roundup

Spaceman40 sent in this ZDNet story. PeterPumpkin collects way too many links to Firefox stories: "According to SpreadFirefox.com , there were almost 3 million downloads of Firefox 1.0 in the 5 days since launch, which comes to over 500,000 downloads per day. There are news bites coming out about Firefox everywhere you could possibly imagine. According to a report on MozillaZine, Denmark's largest television channel, TV2, reported on the release of Mozilla Firefox 1.0. PC-WELT, the German equivalent of PC-World, is distributing their own customised version of Firefox to customers." Thomas Hawk writes "Rather than go outside for the past 48 hours, Scott Granneman prefers to burrow in his den and come up with one of the first definitive lists of Firefox links. Good geeking Scott. And way to overcompensate."

I guess there are a lot of people who are just tired with IE. Having a tool as well known as a web browser to get all this attention for a v. 1.0 release is pretty amazing. Normally this type of welcome is reserved for a big company major version release.

After the browser war ended, the real loser was the consumer because they got a stagnant product. But now with Firefox getting all this press, I wouldn't be suprised if IE starts getting much needed improvements soon.
