The Future of Firefox

Posted by Zonk on from the phoenix-rising-indeed dept.

sebFlyte writes "As Firefox moves swiftly towards 1.1 and Internet Explorer keeps trundling towards IE7, ZDNet UK has an interesting set of articles about Mozilla. Among other things, they look at the history of Firefox all the way from the pre-phoenix days, and have an interview with chief evangelist Asa Dotzler looking at what has driven the browsers success and why he thinks the release of IE7 will cause a massive boost in the uptake of Firefox."

    Firefox doesn't have Spyware! IE7 will ship with Spyware! Linux is the r0XXXor!

    Firefox is no longer a fox, it's a snail. We should call it firesnail. I hate to note that IE6 runs faster for me on wine than firefox.

    That is because people are abusing html - html is for showing contens, with a nice layout.

    To chat use IRC. To discuss: usenet. To share files: ftp.
